On this last day of May 2011 – I thought we would pay tribute to May being Healthy Vision Month. As we age, our eyes undergo normal aging changes which cause a decrease in sharpness of vision and focusing power. When you start to notice that it is harder for you to read fine print – it is important that you schedule an appointment with an optometrist so that you can have your eyes properly examined. As we age the lens of the eye becomes less flexible and it becomes yellow and we have difficulty discerning colors.
Spring has definitely sprung here in the East Bay Area and it is reaffirmed by the layer of pollen adorning my car at the end of each work day. A recent article in the Contra Costa Times – mentioned that the allergists expect a ‘robust’ allergy season this year, expected to peak this month. Seasonal allergies occur when the body’s immune system overreacts to irritants such as pollen. In my office I have already begun to see patients who are starting to experience hay fever symptoms.
Your home, a safe sanctuary for your family to grow and play in, often exposes you to many toxins. Products that we often use to clean our homes contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to our health. Here is one natural product you can use to easily clean your home and reduce the toxin burden on your body. Baking Soda is sodium bicarbonate, and you may be familiar with its use in baking.

Include whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet, this is advice you have heard over and over again. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and to prevent colorectal cancer – include whole grains in your diet. Colorectal cancer that starts in the large intestines or in the rectum and repeated studies show that a diet high in fiber may reduce the risk for this cancer. A few studies in particular have showed that a diet high in whole grains is associated with a lower risk for colorectal cancer.
