Let’s talk about how to get rid of eye floaters. Eye floaters are an accumulation of collagen fiber in a certain form that’s damaged—it’s been glycated. This means it’s stuck to a sugar molecule. When a protein is connected to a sugar, or sugar is connected to a fat, it becomes unavailable and can clog up the body. A lack of antioxidants, as well as a high-carb diet, can contribute to glycation. But there are things you can do to help prevent glycation. Taking these natural remedies for eye floaters on an empty stomach may be best so they don’t interfere with other proteins.

The best natural remedies for eye floaters: 1. Choline (1000 mg per day) 2. Inositol (500 mg per day) 3. Methionine (200 mg per day) 4. L-lysine (one to three grams) These remedies can take time to work—even months. To help enhance and speed up the process, you can try intermittent and prolonged fasting.

It’s also crucial to start cutting sugar out of your diet. Getting on the Healthy Keto® diet may help balance your blood sugar levels and increase your antioxidants to get rid of floaters. The best foods to consume to help get rid of eye floaters: 1. Vegetables high in vitamin C 2. Meats and seafood high in zinc

From Snacks to Naps—The Easiest Healthy Lifestyle Changes You’ll Actually Enjoy

Don’t forget to scroll down the page for a final health challenge that will make you fit and energetic. Enjoy reading and dancing with Zumba music.

The TODAY Show hosted Blue Zones founder Dan Buettner to share some healthy lifestyle tips from the world’s blue zones. Research shows that a majority of New Year’s resolution-ers drop off around January 20th, but if you change your surroundings to make the healthy choice the unavoidable, easier choice—Dan says, “that can last for years or decades.”

So what can we do to live like the healthiest people in the world?

https://www.today.com/today/embedded-video/mmvo99968069910

Make Friends for Life

The world’s longest lived people chose–or were born into–social circles that supported healthy behaviors, Okinawans created “moais“–groups of five friends that committed to each other for life. Research from the Framingham Studies shows that smoking, obesity, happiness, and even loneliness are contagious. So the social networks of long-lived people have favorably shaped their health behaviors.

We would never tell you to dump your old friends, but you can proactively add people to your network with shared values and healthy habits—people with who you can have meaningful conversations.

Create a Commute

We know that those who walk or take public transportation to work have about a 20 percent lower rate of heart disease. While many of us are working in our spare bedrooms or at our kitchen tables, try putting your walking shoes by the door as a reminder to take a brisk 15-20 minute “commute” before you sit down to work.While many of us are working in our spare bedrooms or at our kitchen tables, try putting your walking shoes by the door as a reminder to take a brisk 15-20 minute commute before you sit down to work.CLICK TO TWEET

Take a Real Lunch Break

The happiest people in the world are socializing face-to-face five to six hours a day. During the pandemic this may be difficult, but you can set up a Zoom call or a FaceTime with a friend or coworker who cares about you.

Go Nuts

People who eat a handful of nuts every day live about two years longer than people who don’t. Leave a bowl of nuts out on your countertop to remind yourself at snack time.

Power Nap

Give yourself permission to nap! A 20-minute power nap can lower your risk of heart disease by about 30%.

20 Habits For a Healthier, Happier Life

From our research in the healthiest and happiest places in the world, here are some habits to take up this year — they’ll enrich your life and boost your health and happiness levels too.

Instead of focusing on an outcome like “lose 20 pounds” or “exercise every day,” focus on acquiring life-enhancing new habits. We are creatures of habit and products of our surroundings, so optimizing our environments and routines will yield a much higher rate of success.

“Living longer and feeling better is the sum of a few small easy choices you can incorporate into everyday life.”—Dan Buettner

Don’t try all of the things below at one time. Choose a few, make them habits, and revisit when they’re part of your daily routine.

Good News, You Don’t Have to Ditch Your Morning Coffee

In original blue zones areas, people drink up to two or three cups of black coffee per day! The American Heart Association found that consuming coffee, both caffeinated and decaf, was associated with a lower risk of total mortality.

However, if your morning joe is filled with cream and sugar, then slowly weaning off the sugar and switching to a non-dairy milk is a new habit to take up this year. To really blue zones your coffee or tea routine, make coffee or afternoon tea dates with friends or family to chat, laugh, and get that face-to-face time that’s so important to health and happiness.

Get a Dog

Furry friends like cats and dogs help with loneliness and companionship and happiness, but getting a dog also encourages people to walk often and regularly.

Invest in Smaller Plates

To avoid meal stuffing, use ten-inch plates. Research shows that when you go from a 12-inch plate to a 10-inch plate, you end up eating 23 percent less.

Eat More Beans and Pulses

Instead of focusing on what you’re going to cut out of your diet, start the New Year by focusing on what you need to add into your meals.

Beans are the No. 1 longevity food and a staple in all five blue zones regions. A cup of beans are standard among the world’s longest-lived peoples, so stock up on chickpeas, lentils, black beans, kidney beans, soybeans, and all other beans and pulses. You can enjoy them in hummus, soups, stews, and salads.

Know and Nurture Your Purpose

Having a purpose in life is a proven link to living longer. What’s the most likely demographic to live past 100? Women who’ve had children after 40. “Embrace your ikigai,” as they say in Japan. “Ikigai” is your reason to get up every morning.

Create Downshifting, Stress-Relieving Habits

Chronic stress leads to inflammation and is the foundation for every age-related disease, including Alzheimer’s and dementia. Centenarians in the blue zones regions of the world have effective ways to manage stress on a daily basis. For Sardinians, this means a glass of wine and a chat with friends at the end of the day. For Seventh-Day Adventists in Loma Linda, this means a quiet nature walk during Sabbath. As an alternative to downshifting at happy hour, try meditating. Even just 10 minutes each day can improve your outlook and lower stress.
“Downshift” is one of the Blue Zones Power 9, the lifestyle habits shared by the longest-lived people on earth.

Enjoy Wine at 5

People in four original blue zones areas drink alcohol moderately and regularly. Studies show moderate drinkers have a lower chance of mortality and an increased chance of maintaining cognitive abilities into old age.

“Wine at 5” is one of the Blue Zones Power 9, the lifestyle habits shared by the longest-lived people on earth.

Find a New Hobby or Join a Group

Get a new hobby or nurture one you already have by joining a meet-up or community group. It can be a book club, starting a garden, or a walking club. Even two hours of bowling can burn 490-calories, and having fun will give you a healthy happiness boost too.

Sit Down to Eat Meals with Family and Friends

The happiest kids in the world, Dutch children, sit down to eat breakfast with their family more regularly than any other kids in the world.

“Loved Ones First” is one of the Blue Zones Power 9, the lifestyle habits shared by the longest-lived people on earth.

Get Enough Sleep

Do your best to always sleep 7.5 hours a night, which helps keep your immune system functioning at its best. People who sleep 6 hours a night are 30 percent less happy than people who sleep more.

Move More

Moving naturally throughout the day — walking, gardening, doing housework — is a core part of the blue zones lifestyle. A day of sitting down — at work, in your car, on your couch— can’t be fixed by spending 30 minutes in the gym. So get up and move throughout the day, taking frequent stretch breaks, choosing the stairs over the elevator, and five- to ten-minute walks throughout the day.

Get Out, Every Day

Even if you work from home or are caring for young children or family members at home, make a point to get out as much as you can.

Eat More Veggies!

Eating seven or more portions of fruit and veggies a day can lower your risk of premature death by a whopping 42 percent.

Eat Less Meat and Dairy

Study authors found that substituting 3 percent of daily calories from animal protein with plant protein was associated with a lower risk for death from all causes – a 34 percent drop when participants swapped out processed red meat for plant protein, and a 19 percent decrease when they replaced eggs.

There is considerable scientific evidence that healthy dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet are associated with lower Alzheimer’s risk and slower cognitive decline. The Mediterranean diet is high in vegetables, beans, fruit, and nuts, and low in meat and dairy.

Nurture Your Religion or Spirituality

In all blue zones regions, centenarians were part of a religious community.

“People who pay attention to their spiritual side have lower rates of cardiovascular disease, depression, stress, and suicide, and their immune systems seem to work better … To a certain extent, adherence to a religion allows them to relinquish the stresses of everyday life to a higher power.”—Dan Buettner

“Belong” is one of the Blue Zones Power 9, the lifestyle habits shared by the longest-lived people on earth.

Get Involved in Your Community

Join a local group or volunteer in your community. The happiest cities have high community engagement and environments that foster social connections.

Volunteer More

People who volunteer tend to lose weight, have lower rates of heart disease, and report higher levels of happiness. Decide what you do best and volunteer your time. Make a point of signing up this month. People who find meaningful ways to give back are also happier.

Make New Friends

Make a new happy friend — that’s one of the best things you can do to boost your happiness levels. Your happiness will go up by 15 percent. How to do this? See the above three habits.

Enjoy Your Meals, But Stop Eating Before You’re Stuffed

Seniors in the blue zones region of Okinawa, Japan eat until they’re 80 percent full, a practice and phrase called hara hachi bu. This healthy practice of calorie restriction and mindful eating promotes health and longevity.

Make Sunday a Meal-plan, Meal-prep, and Meal-making day

Cook a big batch of something healthy that you can use for several lunches and dinners. Use the day to cut up veggies and have them ready to go as snacks and sides. Try the Blue Zones Meal Planner if you’re looking for a digital tool to help you along the way.

There isn’t a more powerful few minutes than signing to be an organ donor. You never have to lift a finger. It is the laziest, most excellent good deed that you can do that will give you a happiness boost.
