5 ways to take care of your eyes


Your eyes require special care and attention just like the other parts of your body. Your eyes are the most important part of your body. You use them for sight, it makes sense to take care of them.
Do the following things to maintain good eye health.
Eat good food
The food you eat plays a huge role in your eye health. Your eyes always require nutrients and vitamins like Omega-3, Beta-carotene, Lycopene, Lutein, and Vitamins C, A, and E.
Eat a lot of fish like tuna, and salmon. Also eat eggs, spinach, and collard greens to have healthy eyes.
Quit smoking
Smoking is not only bad for your lungs, but it hurts your eyes. Smoking affects the nerves that allow blood flow to the eyes. It also causes cataracts and macular degeneration.
Wear sunglasses
Going out with glasses helps to prevent exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun. Make sure you go out wearing your sunglasses to protect your eyes and prevents inflammation and other eye conditions.
Reduce screen time
In normal light, the light from your phone or laptop might not be so harmful. But I spoke to a doctor, Abdul Zubair, about the effect of continued phone use. He said using your phone or laptop under low light can worsen your eyes conditions by causing them to age.
As a rule, take regular breaks from your phone or laptop screen because of the blue light it emits.
Wash your hands before touching your eyes or avoid touching your eyes.
Touching your eyes with dirty hands can cause you to contract diseases like the cold, flu or have pink eyes. So always wash your hands and avoid using them to itch your eyes.
Do all these and go for regular check-ups to always keep your eyes in perfect condition.

She said "The state Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu dropped the idea of imposing a curfew in the state meant to allow the fumigation exercise of public space." Relying on expert advice the Governor said the disinfectant is non toxic, noting that the exercise has commenced. He said: I'm pleased to note that we have taken possession of over 200 disinfecting machines, and starting today, we will be disinfecting all major highways, bus stops, markets, parks and other public areas."

Nigeria Celebrates 58th Independence Anniversary; Nigeria Still Under Servitude.

Image
By YUSUFF Oladeji Afeez (SIR-USEFUL) Before I attempt to analyse the theme/topic of this piece, the questions we should pose in our minds are : What is Independence? Has Nigeria gotten Independence? If truly Nigeria has gotten Independence, Why is she still in servitude? According to Merriam Webster Dictionary,  Independence is "the freedom from outside control or support". Independence is also seen as the time when a country or region gains political freedom from outside control. In the process of providing a definition to the word, "Independence", I noticed a  keyword, present,  in the definitions of Independence, supplied earlier in this piece,  which is "FREEDOM". And according to me, "Freedom is knowing the right thing, and doing the right thing,  which is the only way to  liberate one's self (someone)  from slavery." Since,  We,  Nigerians have deviated from the right things, and doing what is right, we have put ourselves under/in servi...
