 80% of information processed by the brain is from eyes. The greatest danger to the eyes is loss of sight. So, what are the ways to prevent bad eyesight? Ultraviolet rays are very dangerous to the eyes because they can cause cataracts. For this reason, our eyes should not be exposed to the sun for a long period of time. People who usually go out for outdoor activities must wear sunglasses to block UV rays. Also, many modern people have a xerophthalmia which is caused by a lack of tears. To protect your eyes, you can increase your quantity of tears by drinking a lot of water.

 There are various causes of gastrointestinal disease. Among them, the main causes are from irregular meals, spicy food and frequent alcohol intake.

If you lie down right after eating, you can feel your stomach burning by refluxing gastric acid to the esophagus and if it repeats, you may have gastroesophageal reflux disease. Second, put the food in a small dish. According to recent research, the visual effect of eating sends signals to our brain to slow down the digestive process. In other words, when you eat with a small dish, your calorie intake decreases even though you still feel a sense of fullness in a similar way to when you are eating with a large dish. As a result, it can have the effect of living a younger life for three years because it prevents the aging of arteries and the immune system by reducing the amount of food intake. Third, try to eat more fiber. Fiber or fibroid materials make digestible food scraps lump together and become smooth, making them easier to pass through the colon.
