I want to talk about why fasting could

potentially greatly improve your vision

now one thing you can do if you really

want to figure something out and if

we’re talking about what can improve

your vision you look at the opposite

thing what actually destroys your vision

okay and one thing that destroys the

vision is being a diabetic when you’re

diabetic there’s four main tissues that

are affected

one is the kidney when is the heart when

is the nervous system and then the eyes

so there’s a condition in diabetes

called diabetic retinopathy which is

damage to the retina also there’s a

higher risk of getting glaucoma when

you’re diabetic which is inter ocular

pressure so the inside of the eye has a

lot of pressure and that pressure causes

a blockage on the little hole where the

fluid should drain so we don’t get the

drainage and it backs up and then the

pressure destroys the nervous system

it’s the number one cause of blindness

the retina is basically an extension of

your brain you have part of your brain

sticking out in your eye

that’s collecting information and

pulling it in there so when you have a

blood sugar issue the excess sugar

destroys the tiny vascular system that

goes to the nerve and it basically

starves off the nervous system and you

can go blind then we have other

conditions of the eye like macular

degeneration another situation where

you’re getting poor circulation in the

back part of the eye and it’s involved

in a lot of different conditions and

even aging will cause degeneration of

the macula and then you have the

cataract which there’s an opaque white

cloud on the lens of the eye and this is

also very common in diabetics and even

pre-diabetics or people who have insulin

resistance so if a high amount of sugar

in the blood destroys the eye and the

vision then doing the opposite in

reversing that is going to improve your

eyes in different aspects and this is

why fasting is so powerful because first

of all you’re normalizing your blood

sugar you’re running your by on ketones

but you’re actually improving your blood

Sugar’s so anything that improves the

blood sugars will help indirectly

improve the different

aspects of the eye and when you’re doing

fasting you’re also going to kick your

body into a toff adji etapa G is a

condition where your body is cleaning up

old damaged proteins whether it’s

floaters in the eye or scar tissue in

the eye this will actually help recycle

damaged tissues and give you new tissues

and for someone to go on the top of G

you would have to at least do 18 hours

of fasting and I just want to quickly

tell you about my experience with my

vision recently I’d say about a month

ago I started needing these glasses and

right about that same time I went from

an 18 hour fast to a 21-hour fast just a

couple more hours and it was amazing

because I not only notice significant

changes in my focus and my memory but

also in my vision now there’s not a

tremendous amount of research in the

area of improving your vision doing

fasting however if you do a search

online for this you’ll find quite a few

people that have noticed improvements in

their vision by doing fasting so it’s

worth a shot

and if you yourself have experienced

improvements in your vision go ahead and

comment below if you’re consuming foods

high in lutein for example that would be

in like in the cruciferous vegetables

you can also help reduce the risk of

macular degeneration so it’s really

important to consume nutrient-dense

foods the phytonutrients also protect

against the oxidation damage from the

high sugar now I do want to mention one

less thing that I almost forgot about

I’m gonna create a little space here to

tell you about it if you start doing

fasting okay and you feel that your

vision is getting worse that all that

means is that you’re not adapted to

ketosis yet that’s all that means

because it does take some time because

when you get into this you know the goal

is to burn the fat right and go away

from burning your sugar so we want to

make this transition in the process it

could take some time if you have

insulin resistance so it could take a

week two weeks three weeks four weeks if

you’re doing sword Aikido or partial

Kido and you’re not fully adapted you

may not see improvements in your vision

because your blood Sugar’s might still

be up and down one of the big symptoms

of blurriness or loss of vision is

hypoglycemia low blood sugar and the way

to solve that is to switch over and

start burning fat as fuel and that way

you don’t have to be dependent on the

ups and downs of the blood Sugar’s

anymore because you’re tapping in the

fat fuel but to do this you have to do

ketosis consistently and you want to

start fasting because both the

combination of fasting and low carb is

what will help your vision when I was in

my 20s I had bloodshot eyes and

underneath of my eyelids they were all

bloodshot they were dry I had a lot of

problems with my eyes little did I know

that was blood sugars I didn’t know

about keto back then but I do know now

that having a blood sugar problem will

definitely dry your eyes out make you

dehydrated make the eyes very very

sensitive almost like there’s sand in

the eyes and I had a lot of issues with

my vision but coming full circle it’s

amazing how my eyes are so much better

than they were when I’m in my 20s I’m

thirty right now no I’m just kidding I’m

actually almost 55 so my eyes are much

much better simply because of the keto

and in a minute fasting alright thanks
