Top foods for good vision

The eyes are the windows to the soul, the saying goes; but what happens when the windows are neglected and the vision becomes foggy? As with any organ in our bodies, our eyes function best when they receive the right nutrients. And, according to a research by hellofood.com, adding the following foods to your diet can help improve your eye sight in no small ways:

Carrots: Good old carrots are great for the sight because they offer a large dose of beta-carotene which protects the eyes and reduces the risk of cataracts. Carrots can easily be included in your diet in the form of stir fried noodles, vegetables, salads or fried rice and can also be consumed and enjoyed in its raw form.

Turkey: Loaded with zinc and vitamin B, turkey meat is very effective when it comes to warding off cataract. It is also a healthier option than red meat and tastes great. It is definitely a terrific food for the eyes.

Sweet potatoes: This is a very easy accompaniment to any meal, as it contains loads of beta-carotene which makes them a total necessity when it comes to eye health.

Sardines: Extremely rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, sardines (or what we call Titus fish) should be included in your diet at least once a week to get the best
benefits out of it. They work by protecting the tiny blood vessels in the eyes and maintaining overall eye health.

Corn: The corn has a great source of zeaxanthin and lutein and also a fair source of beta carotene and Vitamin C, all of which work terrifically for your vision. Pair your corn with coconut, butter or good old pear to get the best out of this wonder food. When it comes to eating for your eyes, a good rule of thumb to remember is, eat well and your vision can last a life time.

DO NOT BE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE OTHERS  A couple had been married for several years without a child. For the purpose of companionship, they bought a Rottweiler puppy, named it miley and loved her like a child. The dog had access to all the rooms in the house. The puppy grew to become a large, beautiful dog and had on several occasions saved the couples from robbery. Miley was always faithful, loyal and defended its owners against many dangers. Seven years later, the couple was blessed with the long awaited son. They were very happy with their son and naturally decreased the attention they had given to the dog. Miley felt neglected and began to get jealous of the baby. One day the couple left the baby sleeping peacefully in his cradle and went to the terrace to prepare a roast. They were shocked as they were heading to the nursery and saw miley in the hallway with a bloody mouth, wagging its tail. The dog's owner thought the worst, they pulled out weapons and began to beat...

Why do people pass out after donating blood when they have fasted?  I've worked in a blood bank. Not many people passed out while i worked there, it's quite rare, but for those who do, not eating/drinking enough (normal amounts) was the most common reason besides beein nervous.. If you haven't been drinking enough your blood volume falls. The fluid in your blood (plasma, mostly water) needs refill all the time, if not, it will "drain" (sweat, urine, etc). When the blood volume falls, the pressure falls. To prohibit this, the veins in your body constrict. That makes the volume of your veins to fall and the amount (volume) of blood has the same ratio to vein-volume, and the blood pressure is unchanged. If you're dehydrated the veins have constricted to try to keep the pressure up. If you add blood-donation to that, the volume falls even further. The veins can only constrict so much, and it might not be enough to keep the pressure at a normal level, you...
