Starchy, sugary fare that rates high on the glycemic index increases your risk for macular degeneration (our leading cause of vision loss). Aside from reducing – or eliminating – your refined carbohydrate intake, focus on prevention as well. For example, antioxidants can help keep your eyes healthy as you age. Think green and red vegetables, fruit, fish, nuts, eggs, and a fish oil supplement. Nix the sugar, folks.

I live about 100 feet from an interstate. My community has a tight housing market, and it was the only affordable apartment in a safe neighborhood, so I signed the lease. After a couple weeks of fitful sleep, I started tuning out the traffic noise with a small fan set to low. The soft, steady hum does not completely block the roaring semis, but it does distract my attention and lull me to sleep.
I use the “white noise” from a fan to help me sleep wherever I am. I judge hotel rooms not by the quality of the bed or decor, but by how well I can adjust the room fan to tune out the hallway noises or street sounds. Could be that our ancestors were lulled to sleep by leaves rustling in the breeze, water trickling in a stream, waves on the beach or any number of other natural sounds.
When outside enjoying the birds and breeze my backyard sanctuary can be invaded by the sound of leaf blowers. When this happens I pull out my noise blocking earphones and relax in silence.
