2. Bring physical activity into your life. The advice is far from new, but still relevant. Even the modern generation, seemingly knowing everything and everything, often suffers from the same physical inactivity. Meanwhile, the truth is simple: our body, consisting of joints, bones, muscles and blood vessels, was created by nature by no means for sitting and lying down. No wonder they say that movement is life. By depriving yourself of mobility, you turn off one of the most important life functions. What does it threaten? Stagnation, multiple failures of certain organs, a decrease in immunity, the development of all kinds of diseases. One misfortune pulls another, and a person, without noticing it, brings himself to an invalid state. And if, being healthy, he did not move because of his laziness, then, having turned into a sick person, he really loses the ability to move. A textbook example is the Russian hero Ivan Poddubny. A man of unprecedented strength and excellent health, already at an advanced age fell and broke his leg. Immobilized, for almost a year, Poddubny did not leave the house, and this was enough to finish off the body of the famous wrestler, leading to death. So declare war on hypodynamia! Forbidding your body to walk, run, swim, sooner or later you will wait for the body to take revenge on you. It will, in fact, lose the habit of moving, the endocrine glands will stop producing dozens of the most important hormones, depression will become a common occurrence, and after it, along with other diseases, dementia will come. It is worth mentioning the extra pounds. In fact, if you like to eat tasty food, then the body just desperately needs movement. Calories eaten must be burned and spent. Therefore, alternate sleep, rest and pauses with mandatory activity. Walking through the streets and parks, skiing, swimming, jogging, outdoor sports choose what you like more, and this is guaranteed to increase the vital resource of all your organs including vision.
3. Massage and self-massage. About the benefits of massage, extra words, perhaps, are not needed. Massage of the cervical-collar zone corrects the vertebrae, eliminates pinched nerve endings, stimulates blood circulation, and therefore improves the supply of oxygen and nutrients to your eyes and the entire brain. Usually used manual massage, this is the simplest thing we can do. It should be understood that a sedentary lifestyle has become dominant in our everyday life. We sit at home, we sit at work, we sit in transport and everywhere! Do not believe me, sum up your time spent in armchairs, on chairs, on sofas and all kinds of benches. I think you will be horrified.
By the way, according to doctors, it is considered dangerous to health and life if a person spends more than 3 hours a day in a sitting position. This is especially fraught with disastrous consequences if there are no active pauses. Now think about the regime that our children have to endure in schools! Im not talking about office workers! Modern research has shown that more than 60% of people in the world spend approximately 4 to 8 hours a day in a sitting position. Moreover, it is in this position that people usually work with their eyes they write, read, watch TV or on the screens of computers, tablets, phones. Usually the spine at this time is in an unnatural position. The neck is bent, the back is crooked, the muscles are overloaded. Does it affect the state of our vision? DEFINITELY AFFECTS! And here, in addition to the movement, which I mentioned above, massage or self-massage can provide significant assistance. It is not necessary to massage the entire body, it is enough to treat the cervical-collar zone. How this is done, it is better to learn from specialists, watch a video demonstrating the work of professionals. They will also suggest the simplest and most effective methods of self-massage (pinching, rubbing, pressing). Ideally, if you have a skilled massage specialist at hand. If there is none, you can resort to self-massage. This procedure is simple, and the benefits will be obvious. Breaking away from working with documents, watching TV or a tablet, in 510 minutes you are able to restore cervical blood flow, straighten the spinal column. Even short pauses dedicated to the massage of the neck and the base of the neck will give your head and your eyesight an opportunity to recover.
4. It is very useful to add a series of special exercises to the massage. I wont talk about the classic forward and side bends, about the rotation of the body for a long time. Do not neglect these simple, but extremely useful exercises. You can do them in the morning, during breaks at work or not very late in the evening. Over time, bring the number of tilts (or rotations) up to 4050 times, and the effect will be great! But here I am going to describe the exercises that affect only the cervical region:
