COMMENT EVITER LE MAL DES YEUX

 

Le tabac : le principal ennemi

Acroléine, toluène, acide cyanhydrique sont trois des substances que l'on trouve dans les cigarettes. Ce sont surtout trois substances particulièrement irritantes (l'acroléine fut longtemps utilisée dans le gaz lacrymogène) qui favorisent l'apparition de trois maladies oculaires : la cataracte , la DMLA et la dégénérescence du nerf optique.
Inutile, donc, de vous faire un dessin : pour préserver la santé de vos yeux, il est temps d'arrêter de fumer !
Allez: on vous aide en vous donnant 4 méthodes douces pour arrêter de fumer.

Le sucre : un ennemi caché

Votre médecin vous a peut-être déjà expliqué que le diabète peut provoquer de très sérieux troubles oculaires , mais on ignore souvent que, sans être diabétique, avoir un peu trop de sucre dans le sang (ce qui peut arriver si vous êtes ce qu'on appelle un bec sucré !) peut, à la longue, entraîner des lésions des cellules oculaires.
Apprenez donc, petit à petit, à manger moins sucré. Et si le sucre vous manque trop, remplacez-le dans vos recettes par du sirop d'érable, du sirop d'agave ou encore de la stevia.
Pour commencer dès aujourd'hui, on vous donne des recettes de desserts savoureux à base de stevia.

Le stress : un ennemi silencieux

Oui, vos yeux aussi peuvent souffrir du stress… voire d'un burn out ! Si vous travaillez à longueur de journée sur écran sans faire de pauses régulières et, qu'en plus, vous passez votre temps libre à surfer sur internet à la recherche de la fabuleuse petit robe noire ou des derniers potins people, vous demandez à vos yeux de traiter un nombre d'information susceptibles de provoquer une grande fatigue. A la longue, vos yeux n'arrivent plus à accommoder, et cela provoque des vertiges, des maux de tête, et parfois un début de myopie.
Essayez donc de moins solliciter vos yeux et n'hésitez-pas à faire appel à un orthoptiste pour apprendre à faire des exercices de relaxation visuelle.
Et en attendant, si vos (...)

 

·         Trop de soleil ou trop d'ordinateur : le résultat est le même. Vos yeux picotent, vos paupières sont gonflées… Voici six recettes à faire vous-même pour soulager vos yeux fatigués et retrouver un regard pétillant.

·         1. Des compresses à la camomille

·         Préparez une tisane de camomille, et laissez-la refroidir.
Trempez-y deux morceaux de coton, pressez-les un peu pour les essorer, et posez sur les yeux. Laissez agir pendant une dizaine de minutes.
À défaut d’infusion "maison", vous pouvez bien sûr utiliser des sachets tout prêts !

·         A noter: la camomille est également très utile pour lutter contre les migraines et les céphalées de tension. Quand une migraine pointe le bout de son nez, massez-vous les tempes avec des boutons de fleurs de camomille ou avec une compresse imbibée d'huile essentielle de camomille.

           A COMMITMENT CHARTER TO Sensitize POLITICIANS

That is the main reason of the elaboration by the network “Accessible Elections for Persons with disabilities” of a Commitment charter for the socio political integration of persons with disabilities in Cameroon.

                        This document was given to the 23 candidates who took part to the elections or their representatives. Some of them took it like : SDF of the Chairman Ni JOHN, Esther DANG of the BRIC, Ben MUNA of AFP, CPDM just to name a few.  Others like Jean NJEUNGA, the candidate of the united front of Cameroon (FUC), categorically refused to take it. Answering to the question to know if it is in that way he would rule the country in case he is elected, marginalizing some Cameroonians, he said “YES”.  Other ones like Fritz NGO who thought that it was a motion of support, finally took the document. Some of these candidates were unreachable or very busy. We will try to meet them because; the process is still going on.

            The 2011 presidential elections in Cameroon have been successful for the participation of people with disabilities. For the first time in the history of the country, they have been fully involved from the preparation to the end of the process. Since October 2010, many organizations of the civil society, disabled people organizations, journalists, human rights and United Nations organizations and some stakeholders like Sightsavers International Cameroon, began to prepare this political event. Workshops, training sessions, conferences, and press conferences have been organized to sensitize the population and political authorities to keep an eye opened to disabled people. “Accessible elections for persons with disabilities” a network with an ambitious program has been set on for the due cause. Sensitization campaigns took place all over the country asking disabled persons to subscribe to electoral lists, to consult electoral lists, to withdraw their electoral cards and vote. Five days before, Elections Cameroon in charge of the organisation of the election granted to visually impair persons even through it was late, a package containing electoral documents. Disabled persons as you can see in these pictures finally participated to these presidential elections in dignity. We should recognize that it has not been easy at all. It was not perfect but, it is the beginning of a long political process.

Some other one made some publications.

For the first time, among electoral observers were disabled persons. At least fifty in the whole country were trained like you can see in  this picture. Code of conduct for elections stakeholders was distributed to disabled persons.
