“I think the biggest problem for so many people is that they want to go to a Walmart or another store like that and buy the biggest cheapest container that they can, and they do not realize that there's probably a lot of starchy stuff in there, like tapioca starch or rice starch and things like that, as fillers, and that's not great. It's really better to spend the money and get a good quality clean protein and make sure that you're nourishing your body well.” - Mira Dessy

All of our senses are important, but the one we rely on most is vision. It helps us navigate safely through our surroundings and recognize what's happening around us. Healthy vision is crucial for seeing clearly and preventing falls and fractures, especially for people with osteoporosis.

However, many people have trouble seeing objects up close or far away. In fact, over half the people in the United States wear corrective lenses. If you’re having trouble reading or feel your vision changing, you probably need glasses or contact lenses. But did you know you can see more clearly by learning simple, natural methods for better vision?
