It’s National Eye Health Week. Our eyes really are an engineering and biological marvel, and there are lots of things we can do to help keep them healthy through life. 🤩 Some eye health facts are worth knowing so we can identify if we need to get them checked out: ·      Eye colour doesn’t usually change - any colour change needs checking. 👁👁🗨 ·      Smoking increases the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration and other sight issues. 🚬 ·      A vision change may signal underlying health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure. 😎 ·      Eat a range of food and drink. Get a good selection of micronutrients - and help your eyes to stay healthy. 🍅🍏🥕 Eye care tips ·      Make sure your glasses or contacts prescription is up to date and suitable for use with a computer. 💻 ·      Know your family history of eye conditions - as many are inherited and can be checked for more often if known about.  ·      Wear sunglasses to protect eyes from UV rays – or if you wear glasses you could get photochromic lenses. 🕶 ·      Use safety eyewear when working with hazardous materials or doing DIY. 🥽 ·      Follow the 20-20-20 rule with screens: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Most importantly: get your eyes checked! 👀 Regular eye checks at the opticians can help identify any eye problems like glaucoma, diabetes or high blood pressure at an earlier stage.  Find out more about vitamins for eye health here: https://lnkd.in/epcmupwF   #EyeHealthWeek #EyeHealth

Are you inspired by top athletes like Mo Farah and Simone Biles? 🚀 It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of sports and push ourselves to the limit. But did you know that over 20% of Brits have injured themselves trying to emulate their sporting heroes? Recent research reveals that many of us are motivated by athletes, but 28% of people go 'too hard, too soon,' leading to common injuries like shin splints and tennis elbow. So, what can you do to stay injury-free? Dr John Burke & Sarah Lindsay, Olympian and personal trainer, suggest starting slowly, incorporating proper warm-ups, and gradually increasing intensity. Remember, fitness is a marathon, not a sprint! Let’s take a measured approach to our fitness goals, stay motivated, and stay injury-free! 💪 #Fitness #Health #InjuryPrevention #AXAHealth
