1. Constantly rubbing your eyes with your fingers.

Because the eye is such a delicate organ in the body, you should try to avoid touching it too much or rubbing it too vigorously in order to take the best possible care of it. This is due to the fact that the eye is susceptible to infection if it is rubbed with an unclean hand. If you feel excessive scratching in your eyes, you should make an appointment with a medical professional as soon as possible and stay away from touching them.

2. Staring for an extended period of time at light screens

This is a widespread practice that is harmful to one's eyes and should be avoided. The practice of staring at the screen of a mobile device for an excessively long period of time, which is harmful to the eyes, has become common among many people. According to webmd, The eyes become fatigued when they are forced to stare on bright screens for an extended period of time, which can impair their ability to do so. Because of this, you can experience itching, dryness, or double vision. It is recommended that you cut down on the amount of time that you spend staring at light screens in order to protect your eyes from potential damage.

3. Failing to wear eye protection.

Because extended exposure to sunlight has a tendency to cause damage to the eyes, it is recommended that sunglasses be worn while going outside on days when the sun is shining. This is because sunglasses help to reflect light away from your eyes. Consuming foods that are high in nutritious elements such as vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein, and zinc are some of the ways that a person can take care of their eyes in a way that is both healthy and beneficial. 

It's that time of the month again, when the week is likely to be full of cramps, mood swings and toilet visits at the most random of times. Yes, we're talking about menstruation.

Although many, if not all, suffer from these menstrual symptoms, some women have even worse problems. A recent health survey found that 50-90% of women in Singapore suffer from dysmenorrhoea, or extremely painful periods. These episodes can be so severe that they interfere with even simple daily activities such as walking or working.

Some menstrual pains have more serious causes, while others may be due to severe cramps in the uterus. If you're one of those wondering about your menstrual health, here are five signs that all is well, according to Women's Health.

Your menstrual blood is bright red:

 

This means there is enough blood in the uterus. Blood flow is also stable, with no sudden bursts or clots.

Menstruation lasts between 4 and 7 days:

On average, menstruation should last between 4 and 7 days, and if it is shorter or longer than that, it may indicate problems with your reproductive health. A full menstrual cycle should last between 26 and 32 days.

Bleed only during your period:

If you've never had your period except on the days you're supposed to have it, you're on the right track. But many women also experience spotting or bleeding during ovulation, and this is perfectly normal as long as it's not too heavy or painful.

Your periods are usually regular:

Over the years, your period may have missed a few times - probably due to stress - but it's not something you need to experience every month. As long as you don't bleed more in the months you don't than in the months you do, you don't have much to worry about.

You'll feel nothing but warmth in your lower abdomen and in the female parts:

A healthy period is also a painless period. You only feel a warm sensation down there and at most occasional cramps. These cramps don't make you writhe in pain or run into a hot shower.
