Eye Protection

or Eye Pro as its called.  Few can argue that our eyes are not worth protecting.  We suffer a daily barrage of damaging UV rays which can lead to all sorts of complications.  Macular degeneration is where the cells in your retina slough off into the eye causing "floaters," or eventually blurriness and blindness.  Cataracts are no fun either, when the proteins in the lens break down or form improperly distorting or even blocking vision.  A high carbohydrate diet elevates risk or even causes these and other eye conditions.  Still it is to easy to wear some UVA/UVB protection.  Working in shops or construction sites, or combat you might want impact resistant lenses to protect your eyes from particles and impact damage.  I know of one instance in which a Soldier's eye pro slowed a ricocheting bullet enough that it entered but did not destroy his eye.  
           

Optimum Garden Experience

I set this garden up to make mowing easier, be close to the kitchen, receive lots of sunlight, be accessible from the edges, and have access to rain from the gutter.  Used the dirt to fill in low spots in the yard.

Picture of Progress

A picture is worth a thousand words so...

The Goji Berry seeds seem to be growing quite well,  I must transplant them to new pots soon and eventually into the garden.

Protien Powder is Protien Power

Nine Essential Amino Acids, the ones your body cannot produce, you must eat them almost daily, and its very hard to find them in plants. Milk is a good source of them except for all that lactose milk sugar, the adult system doesn't like to digest it. Whey protein solves this it contains the amino acids that your body uses to repair and build new parts. Parts like neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, cell membranes, organs, skin, hair, nails, nucleic acids, you know nothing to important if you are dead, but deathly important if you intend on living. Shake things up a bit, try a few different brands until you find one that you like, first thing in the morning is a great time to hit up 30grams of protein. You will probably eat less empty carbs the rest of the day, because that amount of protein doesn't spike your insulin, but it is plenty to release leptin, Peptides YY and CKK, which tell your body to feel full. Oh yeah less insulin spikes, that makes your body more sensitive to leptin, sort of a nice reinforcing pattern. Shake up from Protein Power.
