Q. My myopic son is wearing power glasses. Are there any other nutritional supplements to support eye sight? My myopic son is wearing power glasses from the age of 2 years. His power is not very high yet but the rate of his eye power is doubling every year. Doctor had given him some medicines and had told him to have lots of carrots. We are giving him carrot juice every day. But soon he stopped taking it for some months. But he is having juice now but I wish to know are there any other nutritional supplements to support eye sight?

A. eating carrots can help people who suffers from vitamin A or beta-carotene deficiency. which leads to poor night vision. but that's it. there is no reason to eat tremendous amounts of carrots, there are food supplements that will help you achieve it without becoming orange. anyway, getting too much vitamin A can be toxic.
here is a "snopes" about it-

Q. How I get power in my bones once exposed to sunlight? I want to know that after my workout from a gym, when I come out in the Sunlight I can bear the sun better and I feel power in my bones. I have made it my regular habit but it worries me a lot that exposure to sun will bring the risk of some skin diseases or cancer. I also want to know how I get power in my bones once exposed to sunlight.

A. Sunlight helps in making Vitamin D and this helps in making bone mass and with the reduced bone loss you get power in your bones. On the other side you do exercise which stimulates hormones which helps to make your body fit. The only requirement is to keep up with a healthy diet. Sunlight will not harm you. But if you really fear of getting cancer or any diseases then your diet and lifestyle will save you.
