Tired, dry eyes are not only aggravating and painful, they can prevent you from getting your work done–especially if you work at a computer or with a lot of paperwork, reading, or writing.
If you’ve already tried the chamomile tea remedy and/or the cucumber recipe and are still experiencing tired, dry eyes, it’s time to dive deeper into what’s causing your eye problems. Why not combat tired, dry eyes from within? After all, you can’t use eye drops
forever. Wouldn’t you rather address–and treat–the underlying cause, instead of just touching on the symptoms and not getting permanent relief?
Life is so busy and hectic, isn’t it? You think you don’t have time to address your tired, dry eye issue, but you do! Simply increase your intake of omegas in your day-to-day lifestyle and allow a little time for them to begin working. A super easy way to add omegas is by picking up a quality gel cap and following the directions on the bottle.
Omega 3-6-9 (1000mg)
is an excellent choice (as shown in the photo below).
A few other benfits of omegas 3, 6, and 9 include:
- anti-inflammatory
- protection against heart disease, cancer (including prostate), and diabetes
- bone health
- prevention and/or control of high blood pressure
- fiber rich
- lower cholesterol
Women also benefit from omegas aiding in hot flashes and hormonal issues.
Lastly, another way to find eye relief, is by consuming raw foods, cleansing your body to help rid it of toxins, and incorporating raw juices and smoothies into your life.
