Can you eat your way to better sight?

The eyes are not just a window to the soul; they may be a surprisingly reliable guide to how healthily you eat. While there is no correlation between refusing to eat your carrots and actual night vision, nutrition and optical health are closely linked, with scientists currently looking at the role played by vitamins and minerals in the prevention of eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.

That a link exists has long been understood: the eye condition xerophthalmia, a common cause of blindness in developing countries, is known to be caused by a lack of vitamin A, which is found in sources such as meat and fresh vegetables.

4 Tips To Wear Pink This October

The month of October is observed as breast cancer awareness month, where women are encouraged to wear pink and spread awareness. So, get into your pink outfit, but be careful about choosing the right shade.

Here are some tips for you:

·      Mix your shade with other colors: Veronique Henderson, creative director at Color Me Beautiful said   ‘whatever you’re coloring; you will be able to mix your pink with the other big color this season – any grey’.

·      Try the rich pink shade: If you match your skin tone with Catherine Zeta Jones, then you will need a strong rich pink. It can be worn as sportswear to more formal attire, if solid pink is not for you, then incorporate it as part of a print on a top.

·      Choose contrasting shades for your eyes and hair color: If your hair is salt and pepper, silver or white (natural or not) then hot, rose and fuchsia pinks are must-haves in your wardrobe. Pink will give you that boost of energy that you deserve.

·      Try soft and muted shades: If your overall look is soft and muted then make your pink soft and muted too. The best shades of pink for you are salmon and powder pinks.
