Eye Twitch Problems? Solution In Sight!

Eye twitch, or the spasming of the muscles under the eye, is fairly common. It can last for a few seconds or sometimes years. The causes are often unknown, but usually break down to a few common things.

• Stress
• Dry eyes
  
• Lack of sleep
• Eye irritation
• Over exercising
• Poor nutrition
• Older contacts

Stress is the number one reason. In fact all of the other reasons are also forms of stress. If stress is a factor in your life (you can't really live with out it) then make sure you take time to relax, meditate, and/or pray daily.

Deep, slow breathing will definitely help you to relax, as well as make sure you are getting oxygen to all of your body.

Learn to leave behind the days problems when you get home at the end of the day. Imagine putting them away in a little box, and forgetting about them until the next work day begins. Don't worry, they will still be there tomorrow. But if there not, GREAT!

Dry eyes can have several causes, but the first thing to do would be to make sure you are drinking plenty of good clean water. Dry eyes means you are dehydrated. That dehydration can also be caused by drugs and poor nutrition.

Most people walk around in a dehydrated state most of the time and don't even realize it. If you are dehydrated, it isn't just a matter of drinking a glass of water. You have to drink water consistently throughout the day, everyday.

When you first increase your water intake your body will not accept the water very well. Like a dried out towel or wash cloth, at first the water just runs off. It takes a little time of exposure to the water before your body parts start to soak it in. So expect to use the bathroom a lot at first.

If you are having a health challenge, you should drink, your body weight (in pounds) divided by 10, cups of water each day. Drinking a cup or two of water every hour through out the day should do the trick.

If your eye twitch is caused by lack of sleep, then obviously get more sleep. Go to bed shortly after the sun sets. Your body rests more effectively in the hours before midnight than it does after midnight.

If your eye feels irritated, both you and a friend should look for causes of the irritation, and try to eliminate them.

Over exercising causes undue stress on the body and also contributes to dehydration and malnutrition.

Spasms in muscles can easily be caused by poor nutrition. Mineral balance is very important to the proper functioning of muscles. If you are taking a mineral supplement it can cause an imbalance. The best way to get your minerals is through eating whole raw foods. Particularly important to mineral balance and acid balance (part of the process) is to eat green leafy vegetables.

If you eat a lot of store bought foods you may have a mineral imbalance. Unless you grow a lot of your own vegetables, I suggest using "Redmond Real Salt" with your meals. It is a balance of salts, minerals, and trace-minerals that is very much like the balance found in the human body.

Older contacts can be a problem because they can irritate the eye as they wear out. They can also cause problems if the vision of the eye has improved or worsened from the time they were prescribed. This stresses the eye, and can lead to twitching. Eye glasses can cause similar problems.

Personally, I don't recommend the use of contacts or eye glasses for most people. The eyes are like any other part of the body, in that they can heal and improve if given the proper nutrition and exercise. Even older people can improve their vision if they will take the time to learn the correct exercises and do them regularly.

As I have aged, from time to time, my vision has started to blur. I have found that if I will take the time to exercise my eyes, they will return to health.
