EXCUSE #2 : I COULD STEP ON SOMETHING SHARP.

Yes, you could. At least in the beginning, you could certainly step on something sharp and hurt yourself. But it is not nearly as big a concern as you think. Why?
Because when you start walking barefoot, you are hyper-vigilant. Barefoot walking and aware-foot walking. You have two eyes and you are using them to look for anything in your path. Over the first few weeks you'll know the location of every stick, stone, seam, and crack on your path. When you are barefoot, you are walking awarefoot. It is good. You'll be in the moment, incredibly focused and mindful of each step and everything before you. Your eyes will keep you safe as you scour the ground. 

  Soon enough, glass will become no more than a sharp pebble, something that you'll feel underfoot but that won't cut your feet. Over time you'll find it is not the glass that gets you, but sometimes a tiny thorn, or if you're in cactus country a barb or goathead.


⇧ Goathead 

⇩ "Touch-me-not"


All of these are minor, sometimes requiring you to stop for a minute or a bit more. But none of them is the type of catastrophic injury we think about going barefoot walking outdoor.

FOOT NOTE
Keep a Sharp Eye Out for Rock Salt

We're often asked about the worst injury we've sustained when walking barefoot or running barefoot. we cut our feet while going barefoot on rock-salt-treated pavement in the winter. 








While salt id often applied on roads, sidewalk, and steps during winter to melt ice and keep people from slipping, rock salt wreaks havoc on bare feet, canine feet inclusive. See photo above.

  Why? Well, when it's dry, rock salt is sharp and hurts like the dickens.


  If it's wet, it acts as a meat-tenderizer, softening the skin, thus making our human feet susceptible to normally benign road hazard while walking barefoot. A piece of glass that normally would never bother a barefoot walker now poses a potential painful threat.

TFT Algorithm For Rage

RAGE ALGORITHM

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the rage that produce such emotional distress in your life. 

2. Rate the intensity of your rage at this moment, using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale. On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of rage. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3. Using two fingers of one hand, tap a spot on the outside edge of the eye. Tap five times, firmly and gently, but not nearly hard enough to bruise. 

4. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times. 

5. Take a second SUD rating and write it down. If the SUD has decreased 2 or more points (which will be the case for most people), then continue with step 6 below. If there was no change, however, or if the change in the SUD was only 1 point, perform the correction for a psychological reversal, using the technique described in this post (CLICK HERE). Then repeat steps 1 through 5.

6. Perform the nine-gamut treatments. Locate the gamut spot on the back of the hand, about an inch below the raised knuckles of the ring finger and little finger when making a fist. Begin tapping the gamut spot with two fingers of the opposite hand, about three to five times per second, and continue tapping while performing all nine steps below ( tap five or six times for each of the nine-gamut positions). It is very important to tap the gamut spot throughout all nine of these gamut treatments:

G1~ Open the eyes.

G2~ Close the eyes.

G3~ Open the eyes and point eyeball down and to the left.

G4~ Point the eyeballs down and to the right.

G5~ Whirl the eyeballs around in a circle in one direction (clockwise).

G6~ Whirl the eyeballs around in the opposite direction (counter clockwise).

G7~ Hum a few bars of any tune aloud (more than a single note; 
rest the eyes).

G8~ Count aloud from one to five.

G9~ Hum the tune again.

7. Tap the outside edge of the eye five times again.

8. Tap the collarbone point five times again.

9. Take still another SUD rating and write it down. If it has declined to 1 (which will happen with most people), move to step 10 below. But if it has decreased significantly yet is still not a 1, perform the MINI PR correction as described below, and then repeat the treatment steps above.

10. To ensure that the improvements you've made are complete, perform the floor-to-ceiling eye roll (when the SUD is 2 or lower): Hold the head level and move your eyes down. Then begin tapping the gamut point as you move your eyes upward.

MINI PR
 A related procedure, called a mini psychological reversal correction, can be used when you decrease your SUD to a 3 or 4 but can't seem to get it any lower.  In other words, you've achieved substantial improvement, but you can't get to the finish line.  A block exists that is keeping you from reducing the SUD any further
  In the algorithm for your particular emotional problem, you'll be instructed on whether and when to use this technique. here is the  procedure to follow:
~ Find the PR spot mentioned above,  located on the outside edge of the  hand, between the wrist and the  base of the little finger.


~ Tap about fifteen (15) times with two fingers of the opposite hand. 



  As long as a psychological reversal persists, TFT ( or any other treatment) won't be able to get the SUD to a 1.  The PR or mini PR correction will open the door that allows TFT to eradicate your problem.

Denials and Affirmations in The Game of Life

Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be 
established unto thee."

All the good that is to be made manifest in man's 
life is already an accomplished fact in divine mind
, and is released through man's recognition, or 
spoken word, so he must be careful to decree 
that only the Divine Idea be made manifest, for 
often, he decrees, through his "idle words," failure 
or misfortune.

It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, to 
word one's demands correctly, as stated in a 
previous chapter.

If one desires a home, friend, position or any 
other good thing, make the demand for the 
"divine selection."

For example: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for my 
right home, my right friend, my right position. I 
give thanks it now manifests under 
grace in a perfect way."

The latter part of the statement is most 
important. For example: I knew a woman who 
demanded a thousand dollars. Her daughter was 
injured and they received a thousand dollars 
indemnity, so it did not come in a "perfect way."

The demand should have been worded in this 
way: "Infinite Spirit, I give thanks that the one 
thousand dollars, which is mine by divine right, 
is now released, and reaches me under grace in 
a perfect way."

As one grows in a financial consciousness, he 
should demand that the enormous sums of money, 
which are his by divine right, reach him under 
grace, in perfect ways.

It is impossible for man to release more than he 
thinks is possible, for one is bound by the limited 
expectancies of the subconscious. He must 
enlarge his expectancies in order to receive in a 
larger way.

Man so often limits himself in his demands. For 
example: A student made the demand for six 
hundred dollars, by a certain date. He did receive 
it, but heard afterwards, that he came very near 
receiving a thousand dollars, but he was given 
just six hundred, as the result of his spoken word.

"They limited the Holy One of Isreal." Wealth is a 
matter of consciousness. The French have a 
legend giving an example of this. A poor man was 
walking along a road when he met a traveler, who 
stopped him and said: "My good friend, I see you 
are poor. Take this gold nugget, sell it, and you 
will be rich all your days."

The man was overjoyed at his good fortune, and 
took the nugget home. He immediately found 
work and became so prosperous that he did not 
sell the nugget. Years passed, and he became a 
very rich man. One day he met a poor man on 
the road. He stopped him and said: "My good 
friend, I will give you this gold nugget, which, 
if you sell, will make you rich for life." The 
mendicant took the nugget, had it valued, and 
found it was only brass. So we see, the first
man became rich through feeling rich, 
thinking the nugget was gold.

Every man has within himself a gold nugget; it is 
his consciousness of gold, of 
opulence, which brings riches 
into his life. In making his 
demands, man begins at his journey's end, 
that is he declares he has already received.
"Before ye call I shall answer."

Continually affirming establishes the belief in the
subconscious.

It would not be necessary to make an affirmation 
more than once if one had perfect faith! One 
should not plead or supplicate, but give thanks 
repeatedly, that he has received.

"The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." 
This rejoicing which is yet in the desert (state of 
consciousness) opens the way for release. The 
Lord's Prayer is in the form of command and 
demand,"Give us this day our daily bread, and 
forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,
" and ends in praise,"For thine is the Kingdom 
and the Power and the Glory, forever. Amen." 
"Concerning the works of my hands, 
command ye me." So prayer is command and 
demand, praise and thanksgiving. The sutdent's 
work is in making himself believe that "with 
God all things are possible."

This is easy enough to state in the abstract, but a 
little more difficult when confronted with a 
problem. For example: It was necessary for a 
woman to demonstrate a large sum of money 
within a stated time. She knew she must do
something to get a realization (for realization 
is manifestation), and she demanded a "lead."

She was walking through a department store, 
when she saw a very beautiful pink enamel 
papercutter. She felt the "pull" towards it. The 
thought came. "I haven't a paper cutter good
enough to open letters containing large cheques."

So she bought the papercutter, which the 
reasoning mind would have called an extra-
vagance. When she held it in her hand, she had 
a flash of a picture of herself opening an
envelope containing a large cheque, and in a few 
weeks, she received the money. The pink 
papercutter was her bridge of active faith.

Many stories are told of the power of the 
subconscious when directed in faith.

For example: A man was spending the night in a
farmhouse. The windows of the room had been 
nailed down, and in the middle of the night he 
felt suffocated and made his way in the dark to 
the window. He could not open it, so he smashed 
the pane with his fist, drew in draughts of
fine fresh air, and had a wonderful night's sleep.

The next morning, he found he had smashed the 
glass of a bookcase and the window had 
remained closed during the whole night. He had 
supplied himself with oxygen, simply by his thought of oxygen. 

When a student starts out to demonstrate, he 
should never turn back. "Let not that man who 
wavers think that he shall receive anything of the Lord."

A colored student once made this wonderful 
statement,"When I asks the Father for anything, 
I puts my foot down, and I says: Father, I'll take 
nothing less than I've asked for, but more!" So 
man should never compromise: "Having done all - 
Stand." This is sometimes the most difficult time
of demonstrating. The temptation comes to give 
up, to turn back, to compromise.

"He also serves who only stands and waits."

Demonstrations often come at the eleventh hour 
because man then lets go, that is, stops 
reasoning, and Infinite Intelligence has a 
chance to work.

"Man's dreary desires are answered drearily, and 
his impatient desires, long delayed or violently 
fulfilled. For example: A woman asked me why
it was she was constantly losing or breaking her 
glasses.

We found she often said to herself and others with
vexation,"I wish I could get rid of my glasses." So 
her impatient desire was violently fulfilled. What 
she should have demanded was perfect eye-sight, 
but what she registered in the subconscious was 
simply the impatient desire to be rid of her 
glasses; so they were continually being broken or lost. 

Two attitudes of mind cause loss: depreciation, as 
in the case of the woman who did not appreciate 
her husband, or fear of loss, which makes a 
picture of loss in the subconscious.

When a student is able to let go of his problem 
(cast his burden) he will have instantaneous manifestation.

For example: A woman was out during a very 
stormy day and her umbrella was blown inside-
out. She was about tomake a call on some people 
whom she had never met and she did not wish 
to make her first appearance with a dilapidated 
umbrella. She could not throw it away, as it did
not belong to her. So in desperation, she 
exclaimed: "Oh God, you take charge of this 
umbrella, I don't know what to do."

A moment later, a voice behind her said: "Lady, 
do you want your umbrella mended? There 
stood an umbrella mender.

She replied, "Indeed, I do."

The man mended the umbrella, while she went 
into the house to pay her call, and when she 
returned, she had a good umbrella. So there is 
always an umbrella mender at hand, on man's 
pathway, when one puts the umbrealla (or 
situation) in God's Hands.

One should always follow a denial with an affirmation.

For example: I was called on the 'phone late one 
night to treat a man whom I had never seen. He 
was apparently very ill. I made the statement: "I 
deny this appearance of disease. It is unreal, 
therefore cannot register in his consciousness; this 
man is a perfect idea in Divine Mind, pure 
substance expressing perfection."

There is no time or space, in Divine Mind, 
therefore the word reaches instantly its 
destination and does not "return void." I have 
treated patients in Europe and have found 
that the result was instantaneous.

I am asked so often the difference between 
visualizing and visioning. Visualizing is a 
mental process governed by the reasoning 
or conscious mind; visioning is a spiritual
process, governed by intuition, or the 
superconscious mind.
The student should train his mind to receive these 
flashes of inspiration, and work out the "divine 
pictures," through definite leads. When a man can 
say, "I desire only that which God desires for me,
" his new set of blueprints is given him by the 
Master Architect, the God within. God's plan 
for each man transcends the limitation of the 
reasoning mind, and is always the square of life, 
containing health, wealth, love and perfect 
self-expression. Many a man is building for 
himself in imagination a bungalow when he
should be building a palace.

If a student tries to force a demonstration 
(through the reasoning mind) he brings it to 
a standstill. "I will hasten it, " saith the Lord. 
He should act only through intuition, or
definite leads. "Rest in the Lord and wait 
patiently. Trust also in him, and he will 
bring it to pass." 

I have seen the law work in the most astonishing 
manner. For example: A student stated that it 
was necessary for her to have a hundred dollars 
for the following day. It was a debt of vital 
importance which had to be met. I "spoke the
word," declaring Spirit was "never too late" 
and that the supply was at hand.

That evening she phoned me of the miracle. She 
said that the thought came to her to go to her 
safe-deposit box at the bank to examine some 
papers. She looked over the papers, and at the 
bottom of the box, was a new one hundred dollar
bill. She was astounded, and said she knew she 
had never put it there, for she had gone through 
the papers many times. It may have been a 
materialization, as Jesus Christ materialized the 
loaves and fishes. Man will reach the stage
where his "word is made flesh," or materialized, 
instantly."The fields, ripe with the harvest,
" will manifest immediately, as in all of the 
miracles of Jesus Christ.

There is a tremendous power alone in the name 
Jesus Christ. It stands for Truth Made 
Manifest. He said,"Whatsoever ye ask the 
Father, in my name, he will give it to you."

The power of this name raises the student into 
the fourth dimension, where he is freed from 
all astral and psychic influences, and he becomes 
"unconditioned and absolute, as God Himself is 
unconditioned and absolute."

I have seen many healings accomplished by using 
the words, "In the name of Jesus Christ." 
Christ was both person and principle; and the 
Christ within each man is his Redeemer and 
Salvation.

The Christ within, is his own fourth dimensional 
self, the man made in God's image and likeness. 
This is the self which has never failed, never 
known sickness or sorrow, was never born and 
has never died. It is the "resurrection and the 
life" of each man! "No man cometh to the Father
save by the Son," means, that God, the Universal, 
working on the place of the particular, becomes 
the Christ in man; and the Holy Ghost, means 
God-in-action. So daily, man is manifesting the 
fruits of the Holy Ghost.

Man should make an art of thinking. The Master 
Thinker is an artist and is careful to paint only 
the divine designs upon the canvas of his mind; 
and he paints these pictures with masterly 
strokes of power and decision, having perfect 
faith that there is no power to mar their 
perfection and that they shall manifest in his life 
the ideal made real.

All power is given man (through right thinking) to 
bring his heaven upon his earth, and this is 
the goal of the "Game of Life."

The simple rules are fearless faith, nonresistance and love!

May each reader be now freed from that thing 
which has held him in bondage through the ages, 
standing between him and his own, and "know 
the Truth which makes him free"- free to fulfill 
his destiny, to bring into manifestation the 
"Divine Design of his life, Health, 
Wealth, Love and Perfect Self-Expression." 
"Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind."

THE GLORY OF THE LORD Psalm 24

In the dictionary, I find the word glory, defined as radiance, spendour. "Mine eyes have seen the radiance of the Lord" that means the law in action. We cannot see God, for God is principle, Power, the Supreme Intelligence within us, but what we see are the proofs of God. "Prove Thou me herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of hearing, and pour you out a blessing, so great, there be not room enough to receive it." We prove God by directing God-power and trusting in It to do the work. Every time we get a demonstration we have proved God. If you have not received the desires of the heart, you have "asked amiss," that is, you have "not prayed aright." You receive your answer in the same way in which you sent out your demand. Your dreary desires are answered drearily, your impatient desires are long delayed or violently fulfilled.

Suppose you are resenting lack and limitation and living in poor surroundings. You say with great feeling, "I want to live in a big house, with beautiful surroundings!" Sooner or later, you may find yourself a caretaker in a big and beautiful house, but you have no share in this opulence. This idea came to me as I was passing Andrew Carnegie's house and grounds on Fifth Avenue. It was all closed and the entrance and windows boarded up. There was just one window open in the basement. This is where the caretaker lived. It was certainly a dreary picture. So ask (or wish) with praise and thanksgiving, so that you will see the glory of the law in action.

All life is vibration. You combine with what you notice, or you combine with what you vibrate to. If you are vibrating to injustice and resentment you will meet it on your pathway, at every step. You will certainly think it is a hard world and that everybody is against you. Hermes Trismegistus said several thousand years ago, "To change your mood you must change your vibrations." I make it even stronger; I say, to change your world, you must change your vibrations. Turn on a different current in your battery of thought, and you'll see the difference immediately. Suppose you have been resenting people and saying you are not appreciated. Take the statement: "God appreciates me, therefore, man appreciates me, I appreciate myself." Immediately you will meet with some recognition on the external.

You are now a master workman and your tools are your words. Be sure you are building constructively, according to the Divine Plan. Judge Troward said: "Man is a distributor of God-Power, he does not create this force." We find in Hebrews: "What is man that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; and hath crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands, Thou hast put all things under his feet." Thou hast put all things under our understanding.

We are now coming into an understanding, age.

We no longer have the faith of peasants, we have understanding faith. Solomon said: "With all your getting, get understanding"; understanding of the working of Spiritual Law, so that we distribute this power within us in a constructive way.

The law of laws, is to do unto others as you would be done by; for, whatever you send out comes back and what you do to others will be done to you. So, the woman who refrains from criticizing, saves herself from criticism. Critical people are always being criticized. They are living in that vibration. They also have rheumatism, for acid thoughts produce acid in the blood, which causes pain in the joints. I read an article in the newspaper. It said a physician had had a peculiar experience with one of his patients. The woman had boils every time her mother-in-law paid her a visit. There is nothing peculiar in this, as she was boiling within (how many times we have heard people say they were in a boiling rage), so the boils appeared on her body. This does not include all mothers-in-law. I have known some very wonderful ones who have brought only peace and harmony with them. Skin trouble shows that someone has got under your skin. You have been irritated or angered. Here we see again, that man gives direction to this God-power, through himself. Vibrative to this power, all things are under his feet. "All sheep and oxen, yea the beasts of the field. The fowl of the air and the fish of the sea, whatsoever passes through the paths of the seas." What a picture of power and dominion for man!

Man has power and dominion over the elements. We should be able "to rebuke the wind and the waves." We should be able to put an end to drought. I read in the paper that the people in a certain drought district were requested not to sing, "It ain't going to rain no more." Knowing something of metaphysics, they realized the power of negative words. They felt it had something to do with the drought. We should be able to stop floods and epidemics, "For man is given power and dominion over all created things." Every time we get a demonstration we are proving our power and dominion.

We must be lifted up in consciousness for the King of Glory to come in! As we read the statement: "If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light," we seem flooded with an inner radiance. The single eye means to see good only, to be undisturbed by appearances of evil. As Jesus Christ said: "Judge not by appearances: judge righteous (right) judgment." There is an occult law of indifference. Jesus Christ knew this law. "None of these things move me." None of these things disturb me, we might say in our modern language. Selfishness and personal will bring defeat and failure. "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it." The imaging faculty is a creative faculty, and your fear- pictures will appear on the external, the result of your own distorted imagination. With the single eye, man sees only the Truth. He sees through evil, knowing out of it comes good. He transmutes injustice into justice and disarms his seeming enemies by sending good will. He is now backed by unnumbered hosts of Power, for the single eye sees only victory.

We read in mythology of the Cyclops, a race of giants said to have inhabited Sicily. These giants had only one eye in the middle of the forehead. The seat of the imaging faculty is situated in the forehead (between the eyes), so these fabled giants came from this idea. You are, indeed, a giant, when you have "the single eye."

Jesus Christ, the greatest of all teachers, reiterated, "NOW is the appointed time, TODAY is the day of your salvation." A few days ago, I saw a motion picture which showed the futility of trying to live in or bring back the past. It is a French picture and is called "Life Dances On." It is the story of a woman, who, when sixteen, had gone to her first ball. She is now a widow of about thirty-five. She had married for money and had never known happiness. When burning old papers, she came across a faded dance programme. On it were the names of six men she had danced with at the ball. Each had sworn to love her all his life! As she sits with the programme in her hands the memory of the ball is pictured on the screen; a scene of loveliness, the dancers almost floating to the strains of an entrancing waltz. Her life is now empty and she decides to recover her lost youth, by finding out what had become of the men whose names were on the programme. A friend who is with her says, "You cannot recapture your lost youth; if you go back you lose the things of today." However, she goes in search of them, and with all, comes disillusion. One did not remember her at all. When she said: "Don't you remember me? I am Christine!" He replied, "Christine who?" Some of them were living sordid lives. At last she returns to the town of her girlhood, where the fifth man lived. He had become a hairdresser. He talks to her gaily of old times, while he gives her a permanent wave. He says, "I don't suppose you remember your first ball, it was right here in this town, and tonight there will be a dance in the same place. Do come with me, it will remind you of the old days!" She goes to the ball; everything looks cheap and tawdry. Unattractive, badly dressed people are on the dance floor. She requests the orchestra to play her waltz, the waltz of her lost youth! Her escort tells her the others won't like such an old-fashioned waltz. However, they play it. The contrast is too much; all her illusions have vanished. She realizes the ball she remembers never really existed the way she thought it did. It was only an illusion of the past. She could not recapture her past.

It has been said that the two robbers on the Cross stood for the robbers of time. One spoke of the past and one of the future, and Jesus Christ replied, "NOW is the appointed time, today thou shalt be with me in Paradise." In the old Sanskrit poem we are told: "Look well, therefore, to this day. Such is the salutation of the dawn." All worry and fear are robbers of time.

The occult law underlying indifference is one of the most profound, for it contains the attainment of a state of consciousness in which the outer world of sensation has no influence upon the action of the mind, and it can, therefore, be in complete at-one-ment with the Divine Mind. Most people's lives are a succession of disturbances: lack, loss, limitation, mothers-in-law, landlords, debt or injustice. This world was popularly known as a "vale of tears." People were all mixed up in their own affairs, fighting their battles and carrying their burdens. If a man judges by appearances, he finds himself in an arena most of the time. The arena of adverse conditions and facing lions of lack and limitation. "If thine eye be evil (if you are imaging adverse conditions) thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If, therefore, the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" The light of the body is the inner eye (or imaging faculty); if, therefore, thine eye be single, you are seeing only one power, one plan and one planner, your body and affairs will be full of Light. See yourself, daily, bathed in the Light of the Christ. This inner radiance is invincible power and dissolves anything not Divinely planned. It dissolves all appearance of disease, lack, loss or limitation. It dissolves adverse conditions, or "any weapon that is formed against you."

We have always at our command, this Light when your eye is single. We should learn to turn on this Light, with the same assurance with which we turn on the electric light. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all right things shall be added unto you." The Chinese Proverb says: "The philosopher leaves the cuff of his coat to the tailor." So, leave the plan of your life to the Divine Planner and you will find all conditions permanently perfect.

Watermelon is made up of ninety-two percent (92%) pure structured water

Watermelon is actually packed with some of the most important antioxidants in nature

These powerful antioxidants 'potent carotenoid antioxidant' and 'lycopene' travel through the body neutralizing free radicals

Water-melon is an excellent source of vitamin C and a very good source of vitamin A, which are beneficial for our eyes, notably through its concentration of beta-carotene

Eyesight and Aging

Are you holding your newspaper at arm's length? 

Squinting at documents to see the fine print? 

Do you need more light to see clearly? 

Each passing decade brings changes that weaken eyesight, including the slow loss of ability to focus on close objects or small print.

Presbyopia, the most common reason why you and your peers need reading glasses, is characterized by decreasing ability to focus on nearby objects. This condition typically shows up around age 40 but often develops for decades before that.

Some of the age-related eye changes are obvious, while others go undetected until vision is limited in some way. For example, the tissues surrounding eyes lose their tone, and fat is lost, too, which results in droopy upper eyelids and the turning outward or inward of the lower lid.

On the other hand, cataracts, which cloud your vision by keeping the light from getting through the clear lens of the eye, are barely detectable because they form at a snail's pace, are painless, and don't result in any redness or tearing in the eye. Over the years, the iris, the colored part of your eyeball, loses flexibility.

Your pupils -- the black holes in the iris that respond to light -- get smaller, and the lenses start to accumulate yellow substances, possibly as a result of exposure to sunlight. These changes predispose you to glaucoma, the product of excessive pressure inside your eyeball, which can lead to vision loss and blindness. No one knows the cause of glaucoma, but it is more prevalent in older people, African-Americans, and in those with a family history of the disease.

Glaucoma is basically symptom-free, often until it is too late. Once glaucoma has damaged the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain, you're past the point of treatment. That's why The Glaucoma Foundation recommends testing for glaucoma every four years until age 45 and every two years after that. Get tested every two years regardless of age if:

• you're of African-American descent
• glaucoma runs in your family
• you are nearsighted
• you have high blood pressure
• you've been using cortisone long-term

Decreased blood flow to the retina, the paper-thin tissue lining the back of your eyeball, can lead to macular degeneration. Macular degeneration destroys sharp, central vision.

Aging and Taste

You can thank your nose for your sense of taste, despite the thousands of taste buds populating your tongue: They can only detect a mere four out of thousands of possible flavors in foods.

The tongue recognizes only sweet, salty, bitter, and sour tastes. That's why enjoying food is limited without a healthy sense of smell. When you chew food and drink beverages, their aromas are released in your mouth.

Saliva dissolves flavor-producing substances in food and drink that make contact with your tongue's taste buds. More importantly, dissolved flavor compounds waft up the back of your throat, making their way to receptor cells in your nose. From there, nerves transmit flavor messages to the brain, allowing you to perceive and enjoy them.

If you're having trouble savoring the flavor of food, blame it on a lessened sense of smell. Time dulls your sense of smell, but not usually until you reach age 60, and then it varies from person to person. About half of adults over the age of 65 suffer from some diminished sense of smell. On the other hand, your sense of taste for sweet, salty, bitter, and sour foods may be remarkably intact until you're well into your seventies.

A zinc deficiency can also cause a decreased sense of taste. Zinc supplementation can help restore it if you do have a deficiency. Infections threaten sense of smell and, as a result, your ability to enjoy food. Some of the damage from the flu, colds, or hepatitis can be permanent. More often than not, acute illnesses, including sinus infections and seasonal allergies, block aromas from the receptor cells that relay flavor information to the brain.

As a result, you don't have as much capacity to savor the flavors of food. The pills you take every day to control medical conditions such as high blood pressure and arthritis can affect sense of taste, mainly by affecting the areas of the brain where you perceive flavors. Chemotherapy drugs and head and neck radiation also threaten flavor perception, sometimes permanently.
