(ThyBlackMan.com) We aren’t all blessed with the use of our five senses, but for those of us that are, it is important we take good care of them while we can. Our bodies are amazing, and it is a miracle they work as they should. We shouldn’t take them for granted though because they can go wrong.
Follow this simple guide to look after your God-given senses.
Eyesight
Looking at the world around us, there are so many beautiful things to see. Therefore, caring for your vision is essential.
Avoid eye strain. Many of us spend too much time in front of our 
computer, television and smartphone screens and this can put unnecessary pressure on our eyes. Give your eyes a break once in awhile by doing something else, or closing them for a few minutes to give them much needed relief.
If you need to wear glasses, make sure you do. Many people avoid them due to issues around vanity, but they are neglecting their eye health and making their sight worse. Besides, wearing glasses can be fashionable these days. Alternatively, wear contact lenses, but don’t over wear or sleep in them as you need to let oxygen get to your eyes.
Eating healthy food is also good for your eye health, so consume foods rich in antioxidants such as green leafy vegetables, citrus fruit, and eggs.
Hearing
It would be terrible to miss out on some of the beautiful sounds in the world, such as the morning song of the birds outside, so you need to look after your ears.
Many of us suffer from blocked ears due to earwax or water, so use this source: homeremedy Cleaning your ears naturally is safer than using Q-tips as they can damage the inside of your ears.
Loud noises are a common cause of hearing loss, so be sensible and avoid them when possible. You don’t need your television or music system turned up to a high volume, so play them at a safe level.
Touch
Some people suffer from tactile anesthesia, which is where they have lost their sense of touch, due to injury or disease. You can prevent this by looking after the nerve fibers in your skin, so quit smoking, and eat foods rich in B12 such as certain meats and cheeses.
Also, remember to protect your hands and feet in cold weather by keeping them warm and improving circulation.
Smell and taste
Finally, these senses are less likely to wrong, but should still be cared for. If your sense of smell isn’t as it used to be, visit your doctor to get your sinuses checked. You may be suffering from a cold or an infection, but there could also be serious underlying issues.
Losing taste is often a result of poor diet or dehydration, so ensure you eat healthily and drink plenty of water. Always see your doctor, as the loss of taste can be linked to a loss of smell, as well as serious nervous system disorders.
