Computer screens, air pollution, the aging process, dry air in offices, poor lighting and sun exposure cause millions of Americans to suffer from dry eye syndrome. This disorder results in decreased tear production and dryness in the tear film. Dry eyes can cause a gritty, sandy sensation accompanied by burning, stinging and itching. Some people notice their eyes sticking shut when they wake up. Others experience a "foreign body sensation," the feeling that something is in the eye. And it may seem odd, but sometimes-watery eyes can result from dry eye syndrome, because the excessive dryness works to over stimulate production of the watery component of our eyes’ tears.

Older people are more likely to suffer from dry eye syndrome than younger people because as we get older our bodies sometimes have an oil deficiency. Oil is a necessary component of our tears and without it the water in our eyes can evaporate too quickly, leaving dry areas on the cornea. Various systemic diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Sjogren’s Syndrome can also cause dry eyes. Women who are going through menopause have an increased risk of dry eye syndrome.

The popularity of computers during the past several years has led to increased incidence of dry eye syndrome, especially when you consider that millions of Americans spend eight or more hours a day on the computer at work or at home. When you concentrate you don’t blink as often and therefore your eyes aren’t properly lubricated. People blink about 22 times a minute while relaxing, 10 while reading, but only seven times when working on a computer.

Fortunately, there are a number of natural remedies that can be used to treat dry eyes. Some people have been able to eliminate dry eyes completely simply by adding omega 3 fatty acids to their diet or taking supplements. Omega 3 acids increase the viscosity of oils made by the body, especially in the eyes. Eating foods rich in vitamin A or taking vitamin A supplements may also help.

Medical studies reveal that each and every day we’re exposed to harmful substances, not only in the form of common air pollution, but through the very foods we eat. The Standard American Diet (or SAD for short!!) is loaded with preservatives, antibiotics, pesticides, and dangerous chemicals — all waiting to inundate your system, from your organs, to your bloodstream, from your head down to your toes, robbing you of the vibrant good health that you deserve.

But once these harmful substances are removed from your system, you’ll begin to look and feel dramatically better.

Why are Heart Disease and Stroke Linked to Gum Disease?

The surface of healthy mucous membrane in the mouth is rich with antibodies called "immunoglobulins" that protect us from viruses and bacteria.

As we age, the body makes less of them and we have less resistance to the 300 kinds of oral bacteria.

When oral bacteria enter the bloodstream through a gum tear, they have a direct pipeline through the carotid arteries to the brain.

This same bacterial plaque that causes periodontal disease can trigger an immune response and inflammation that, in turn, can cause the arteries to swell. And the swelling of the arterial walls results in a blood flow constriction that can lead to a higher rate of stroke and heart disease.
