Health Is Vital

Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out. Our county health and crisis line is 1-855-278-4204.

Who new there was so much to know about your eyes.  I didn't even realize there was such a thing as "Computer Vision Syndrome."  This article is from Vision Service Plan and came to work.  It includes many links for additional reading.  It is interesting how nutrition and exercise play a part even in eye health
