Getting old is no fun: your vision declines, among other things! But it
doesn’t have to be like that.
Your vision health is holistic
health: that is, it is related to your overall health, in particular, your
kidneys and your spine. According to Chinese medicine, the kidneys are
considered the longevity organs of the body. An erect spine contributes to
better breathing, and, more importantly, the free flow of “qi” which is
internal life energy flowing through the meridians of your body. This internal
life energy carries oxygen and nutrients to your eyes, as well as your other
body organs. If you want to be vibrant with good vision, focus on your kidneys
and your lower back.
As you continue to age, you may not want to do too many rigorous
exercises. The following basic “qi gong” exercise helps both your kidneys and
your lower back, and therefore is beneficial to your vision health:
(1) As you get up
in the morning, stand with your feet close together.
(2) Relax your head
and shoulders by gently rotating your head upward, downward, right and left in
a circular motion, while opening your eyes. Do not “fix” your eyes on anything;
just let them “notice” the surrounding.
(3) Stretch your
hands upward as far as you can go, and then forward. You will feel the
stretch in your lower back.
(4) Now, bend
forward until your hands touch the floor, or as far as you can go. Continue to
look upward to keep your back straight. Remain in this position for as long
as possible.
(5) Then, slowly
uncurl your body.
(6) Repeat the
above.
This exercise is easy to perform, and it benefits the whole body,
especially the eye. Perform this exercise as you get up in the morning, and
before you go to bed.
