I was just wondering...

Arngrim Posts: 24 Joined: 2002/02/27	2002/08/10, 12:17 AM if someone can help me out. I know this might sound a little stupid. but i just wanted to know can weight trainig and improper breathing affect my eyes in any way. I wear glasses and i was wondering that maybe working out too hard and not getting enough vitamins and minerals might make my vision worse. I read somehwere something about oxidation and even though i dont know what it is yet i read something about it having to do with the eyes as well. I was just wondering if i train intensly and not breath properly during the training or eat right for my training if this can in any way harm my eyes. Or does it have any affect on the eyes at all. Thank you.

You can feel dizzy or get nausau from lifting heavy (or doing HIIT) but make your vision worse, no. If your body is in lack of vitamines, then it'll affect your whole body and not only your eyes. Take a vit pill daily and see if that helps. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

You do not want all the blood to rush to your head and looooose the blood clot that is forming right now. You lose the blood clot and you will have a big oweee (dry socket). hmmm bleeding gums. Normally it is due to a lack of mouth hygiene. ie flossing and brushing. bleeding gums when lifting probably is due to pushing your body beyond its limits. Blood pressure rises, fluid volume increases, adrenaline surge and if the body cannot compensate for this it goes out of the body. ruptured vessels, vomiting and bloody gums. :) Melissa -------------- Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching?

Lumina20 Posts: 966 Joined: 2001/10/31	2002/08/12, 09:15 PM Well, yes it has been 4 days, each day I keep feeling better. My right side seems to be healing slower than the left, but I am very antsy and want to workout, but I also don't want a dry socket, so I will wait until Thursday. I'm going to try to get back to eating right tomorrow; my diet has consisted of mostly foods I can slurp off of a spoon.
