Did you know at age 42, the average well fed human starts to need reading glasses? The lenses in our eyes at age 10 are as supple as they will ever be. Over time they begin to harden and our eye muscles can no longer flex the lenses the way we used to! A good way to test this is hold you finger close to your eye and slowly pull it away to see when it becomes clear for you! As time goes on you need to pull that finger further and further away. This eventually turns into what we call cataracts when the lens crystallizes and turns to a yellow tint. Foods like Goji Berries and Carrots are a great way to push off the need to a later date!
