The one important thing you’re probably missing from your fitness plan #ThinkAboutYourEyes

04/23/16 | Green Living & Holistic Health

This post was sponsored by Think About Your Eyes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received compensation as a thank you for my review.

think about your eyes
Earlier this year, I had a very serious goal for my health and fitness plan. I wanted to cut back on sugar, get rid of by baby weight, strengthen my core, increase endurance, and several other things I deemed were most important for my optimal health and fitness.

But, I was missing one really important thing…and you probably are too!

Just as eating fresh, balanced meals nourishes our body, and exercising helps keep our physique healthy and strong, we should not take for granted the one part, which we take in the world – our eyes. Just like all of our other muscles in our bodies, our eyes regular care to maintain maximum performance.

My personal neglect for my eyes dates back to several years ago. Here’s a really little known fact about me – I wear glasses! I was diagnosed with an astigmatism in one eye back in 6th grade, got a prescription for eye glasses, wore them for only a few years and then virtually removed eye care from my life completely. As you can imagine, didn’t turn out so well. Even more than just vision issues, though, getting an annual comprehensive eye exam can help detect any eye problems at their early stages when they’re most treatable.

Think About Your Eyes is a national public awareness campaign that promotes the benefits of eye health, urging people to get annual comprehensive eye exams. As it turns out, I’m not alone. Recently, Think About Your Eyes surveyed members of national fitness center chain Life Time Fitness. The finding was that some gym-goers neglect their eye health despite being very conscious of their body health and fitness. In fact, 24% of gym goers are more likely to exercise 3x a week than to get their eyes checked regularly!

Here’s a great infographic from Think About Your Eyes with some more shocking findings:

    This is my biggest regret, I wish I had taken care of my eyes sooner, just as I did with all the other parts of my body. It’s really important that you can see well and it’s something you can never get back unless you get surgery which is also expensive. That’s a really cool inforgraphic, perfect for raising awareness.

    Too many persons do not take proper care of their eyes. Sometimes it is only when it is very serious some persons visit an eye doctor

    I never pay any attention to my eyes, because they are in such good shape. I even had my hubby take me off the insurance for my eyes. I guess I should at least do a yearly checkup on them like I do for every other part of me LOL Great post!

    This reminds me to get my eyes checked! It has been a while since I have and like you mentioned, I commit myself to going to the gym many times a week but not to check my eyes.
