Two beautiful windows... (the eyes)

Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!
Matthew 6:22-23New Living Translation (NLT)

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well.

The eyes are amazing to me because of the wonders they allow us to see, how beautiful they are themselves, the machinary they have and because they are a master piece of optics.

They play the role of reciebing the light reflected or emitted by the objects and lead it to light-sensitive receptors that tranduce the light in electrical impulse that is processed and interpretated by our brain as images as we know them.
They are located in the upper front half of our face, with the nose between them. In our skull they are ubicated in the orbit.
Their size is about 24 mm of diameter and it's weight per eyeball is 7.5 
Some illnesses that can alter its normal functioning are: nersightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopia, color blindness, cataracts, strabismus, glucoma, among others.

Two tips that I find realy suitable for you to know to keep your eyes healthy are: 

  1. Eat healthy, do excercise and maintain a healthy weight. That avoids the risk of having high blood pressure, diabetes and high colesterol. Diseases that can come with eye problems.
  2. Use the 20-20-20 rule when using the computer. In this technological era we can foget to give our eyes a rest. Per each 20 minutes that you spend watching a screen, stop and look somewhere 20 feet (abot 6 meters) far from you for 20 seconds, and then continue with your work. 
Thank you for reading. God bless you!

    I always wondered if the color red that I see, is the same color red that you see, or even if it's the same color red for everyone! How do we know it? We both agree that we see the same color, but do our brains interpret the same color? Interesitng topic there!

    I always think that the eyes is a door to know the person from inside because their eyes show that to everyone who wants to see.

Postgraduate studies?

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today I am going to travel far in the future, as I did in my previous post. We are going to talk about a course that you would like to take when you finish your major degree. When I heard this I said "What?! Are you crazy? How am I going to talk about what I am going to do after I graduate if I'm not even close to gradute yet?" Anyway, I will try to look beyond that I have in front of my eyes and tell you what I would like to do. I'm just joking. I do use to look at the future but I question myself about if it is going to be as I imagine it. I'll tell you about that later. [SOURCE] Answering the question about what I would like to do when I finish my major degree I would say taking a Master in Biochemistry. I would consider taking this course in the future because it's objective is giving a high level background in Biochemical sciences and its aplications to professionals and university graduates. I ...

Second term, here we go!

Hello everyone! welcome back. It's been a long time since the last post. I hope you had a nice term ending, and if you didn't, don't be sad because even if you didn't get what you wanted to, you did an effort for it, you persisted. That makes you grow up and learn... So tell me.  How are you doing? How did you do on vacations? Did you have a good time? Did you rest enough? I hope you did! Did you travel some where? or there is any place or country that you would like to go to in the future? I think that is a question that we all have ask to ourselfs in some moment of our life, when we start dreaming about those longed for vacations that will come... later or sooner, they will come. [source] [source] Let me tell you about the place that I would like to visit: Chile. Why did I choose the same country where I live? Because I know that Chile is a beautiful country and has so much different landscapes due to its great latitudinal length, but I have never v...

Alcohol

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well :). I know I said that  the last post it was going to be the last one, but I have this pending topic, so here goes the last post for real. Have you ever tried any drug of abuse? Why was it for? In this post I'm going to talk about alcohol, a drug of abuse that I have tried, which has its pros and cons, which effects in our brain and body have been and still being studied by Biochemistry, a drug that it is legal but that doesn't make it any less drug .   I have tried alcohol in celebrations with my family. My family uses to drink alcohol in special occasions and I have tried what they are drinking in those opportunities. I have liked the flavour of the other things that are accompanying alcohol, but I don´t like the flavour of alcohol, so I prefer to drink the same that they are drinking but without alcohol or, more currently, I prefer to drink juice. Talking about the advantages, one of the most supported benefits of al...
