Understand Extraocular Muscles And How They Change The Shape Of The Eye

It is important to understand how the Extraocular muscles change the shape of the eye. The eye is like a balloon. The Extra ocular muscles can hold tension, thus causing a distortion in the shape of the eye. In the normally shaped eye the light that enters the eye focuses on the retina. When the eye is too long for the focusing mechanism, the light focuses in front of the retina. This is nearsightedness or myopia.

When the eye is too short for the power of the focusing mechanism of the eye, the light focuses behind the retina. This is called farsightedness or hyperopia. When there is a greater curvature of the cornea, or the lens, or the back of the eye in one direction more than the other, this is called astigmatism. In each of these cases, vision can be corrected through LASIK eye surgery.

The oblique muscles wrap around the center of the eye. The superior comes from above and the inferior oblique from below. The superior oblique comes from the back of the orbit behind the eye, angles forward through a pulley at the medial superior bony orbital ridge by-way of a tendon which passes through the trochlea (pulley), and then traverses laterally over the top of the eye. Thus this muscle and its tendon may cause a distortion from two different directions, one coming straight from the back forward, and the other around the equator of the eye after it passes through the trochlea.

The inferior oblique muscle attaches to the orbital bone at the inferior nasal bone about 45 degrees below a horizontal line through the center of the eye. This muscle then passes under the eye and attaches laterally posterior to the equator of the eye.

If the superior and /or the inferior muscles were to contract at the same time, this would act as if a string were contracting around the middle of a Balloon and would elongate the eye. Thus the eye would be nearsighted.

If the rectus muscles which originate immediately behind the superior, inferior, medial, and lateral were to contact at the same time the back of the eye would move forward. This also may be due to the fat and the blood vessels behind the eye in the middle of the rectus muscles which are being squeezed forward like a tube of toothpaste. Astigmatism may be caused by one or more muscles exerting pressure from one or more directions. This may be due to more electrical tension being fired at a constant higher baseline tension in one or more muscles.

Healthy Diabetic Diet Food – Cherries Good For People With Diabetes

I always love to read research that announces the health benefits of fruits and vegetables. It’s already clear that they are great for our health, but it is always interesting to learn why these foods are good for diabetic diet and how they affect our blood sugar levels.

Cherries are my favourite fruit. Recently I read an article that said chemicals found in cherries, called anthocyanins, are reported to boost insulin productivity. These chemicals also serve as antioxidants, which have been linked to a variety of health benefits such as reducing heart disease, hypertension, and the risk of a stroke.

Another study showed that considerable amount of melatonin are found in cherries. Melatonin is thought to slow the aging process, and it is being studied as a treatment for cancer, depression, and other diseases.

For people with Pre-Diabetes, the benefits from cherries are even more significant. Other foods and drinks also include anthocyanins; these include blueberries, strawberries, wine, and cider.

Body And Nutrition

In one sense, the human body is a very complex machine. The brain controls the body by receiving information from thousands of “sensors” and sending electronic signals to muscles causing them to move. The human body was designed to consume foods and to convert those foods into energy. When more food than needed is consumed, the body stores the “extra energy” as fat and puts it away for later.

Like any machine, if the body does not receive the nutrition that it needs to function properly, it becomes “sluggish” and one of the first signs is a lack of energy. Your body needs certain nutrients such as proteins – vitamins – minerals – amino acids – fatty acids – electrolytes, all of those nutrients and it needs 100% of them every single day in order to function properly.

Most of us, at some point, have driven a car that wasn’t in the best condition. It will still get you from point A to point B – but it cuts off all the time, the engine runs rough, it doesn’t have a lot of power, uses too much gas, and it’s hard to start in the morning. But if you take that car to the dealer and get it all tuned up, new spark plugs, new filters, and all the adjustments made – when you get the car back there’s a huge difference – a night and day difference!

And that’s really how most people’s body’s are in terms of nutrition. We can still get up every morning (as hard as it is) and go about our day – but we’re not really “running smooth” – we don’t have the energy we should have. And the first step to losing weight – before you do anything – is to get your body a “tune up” nutritionally – to make sure that your metabolism is where it should be so your body can actually start burning fat.

When was the last time your body got every nutrient it needed – every single one of them – as much as your body needed – every single day – for an entire month? If you’re like most people you’d have to honestly say it’s been a while. When we have less energy we aren’t as active as we should be. When we aren’t as active we burn fewer calories. We take the elevator instead of the stairs, we watch TV instead of taking a walk, and we order pizza instead of preparing healthy meals. With the proper nutrition you can see a night and day difference within a matter of days – even within 24 hours. Let us show you how good you’ll feel and how much energy you can have – just by giving your body what it needs!
