Indeed, I do think sugar is harmful for your eyes and overall well being. It is a nasty drug (as I call it) and not many people talk about it.
When it comes to my eyes, I am taking you up on that resting them for two minutes. I’m on the computer for such a long time, I will be splashing some water on my eyes when I take little breaks.
Thanks so much for the tips.
