2. EYES (Sight)
We all know that vision is the most important of all our
senses, so we need to take care of our eyes. We cannot
live life to the fullest without vision.
Eat food rich in vitamin A.
Add vitamin A rich food like carrots, papaya, apples etc.
To your diet. Vitamin A improves the quality of your
vision.
Wear sunglasses whenever you go out.
Use sunglasses whenever you go outside to protect you
eyes from the ultraviolet rays of the sun.

3. Retain moisture in your eyes
As tears are very helpful in preventing dry eyes, cut
onions once a month or blink rapidly for 5 minutes to
retain the moisture.
Use an air conditioner only when necessary
Air conditioning decreases the humidity in your eyes and
makes them dry which can result in corneal abrasions.
So decrease the use of air conditioner.
Use an Anti Glaring Glass While at the Computer
And keep the screen just below your eye level.

4. Rest your eyes every hour when reading
Close your eyes for 5 minutes every hour
while reading or working with eyes.
Apply Peppermint Oil or Vanilla to Your Arm
and Inhale it

5. NOSE (Smell)
Avoid offensive odors
Prolonged exposure to bad odors will diminish the your
olfactory abilities.
Go For a Brisk Walk
Daily brisk walking enhances the sense of smell.
Use Sniff Therapy
According to Dr. Hirsch sniffing something with a
strong odor for 3 minutes, 5 to 6 times daily can
improve the efficiency of your smell within four months.

6. Eat Zinc Rich Food
Add zinc rich food to your diet at least once a
week as zinc deficiency decreases the ability of
sense of smell.
Avoid Cigarettes and Alcohol
Stay away from cigarettes and alcohol as long
term smoking damages the olfactory nerves in the
back of your nose and the rise of blood alcohol
decreases the sense of smell.
Clean Your Nose with Saline Spray
Clean your blocked nose with saline spray. This will
release blocked nerve receptors.

7. TONGUE (Taste)
Add More Spices to Your Diet
Spices increase the sense of taste. So add more spices
and herbs to your diet.
Drink a Lot of Water
Take as much water as you can even in winter as water
balances the saliva secretion on the tongue.
Chew Thoroughly
Chewing releases more flavor and extends the time
that the food lingers in your mouth and spends more
time in contact with your taste buds.

8. Reset the Taste buds
Stop eating salt or sugar or lower the quantity for
a week. After a week, switch back to your original
quantities. It will increase the sensitivity to salty
and sweet foods.
Avoid Spicy Food
Don’t take very hot foods or drinks as it damages
the taste buds.
Keep Your Tongue Clean
If you observe any patches or spots or a change in
color immediately consult a physician.

9. EAR (Hearing)
Add Magnesium and Vitamin B Rich Food to
Your Diet
Limit Your Intake of Caffeine
Caffeine interferes with the flow of blood to
the ears, so avoid large amounts of caffeine.

10. Moderate Your Drinking: Sip Your Wine or
Beer
Moderate drinking protects against age-related
hearing loss. Excessive drinking may
actually cause hearing loss.
Consume a Cup of Skimmed Milk
Studies show that the calcium and vitamin D
in milk are helpful in keeping the bones in your
ear, especially the cochlea, healthy.

11. Avoid Sound Pollution
As the nerves in our ear are very sensitive,
stay away from sound pollution. Don’t shout or
talk too loudly as it damages both the vocal
chords and nerves in cochlea. Put cotton balls
or ear plugs when it is inevitable for you to go
to noisy places.
Don’t Put Sticks in Your Ears
Don’t let the water enter into your ears while
bathing, and always visit a specialist to de-wax
the ears.

12. SKIN (Touch)
Use Sunscreen When Going Out
Apply sunscreen lotion to your body while
going outside to protect the skin from the UV
rays of sun.
Do Aerobic Exercises
Exercise causes sweating which eliminates the
toxins on our skin.

13. Use Moisturizer
Use moisturizers that contain glycerin and
propylene glycol. Skin products that contain
AHA (alpha-hydroxyl acids) help to reduce
wrinkles and improves dry skin, acne etc.
Add Garlic to Your Diet
Studies show that skin cells grown in a culture
treated with garlic had seven times the life
span of normal cells. Garlic extract was even
shown to inhibit the growth of cancerous skin
cells.

14. Tone Your Skin with Herbs
Tone your skin with herbs like sage, witch hazel
and peppermint as sage helps control oil secretion,
witch hazel restores skin’s protective layer and
pepper mint creates a cool tangle.
Include antioxidant rich food like citrus fruits
and colored vegetables in your diet. Products like
soy support skin health and protect collagen.

15. Avoid Skin Destroyers
Smoking, sunbathing and tanning saloons cause
premature aging to your skin. So avoid these.
