A study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology found that sleeping with the head elevated on two standard pillows significantly increases intraocular pressure and decreases blood flow to the optic nerve, with the effect most pronounced in younger patients and those with primary open-angle glaucoma. Most glaucoma management relies on daytime seated pressure readings, which may significantly underestimate the pressure the optic nerve faces during six to eight hours of sleep each night. Sleeping on two pillows compresses the jugular veins, increasing venous backpressure and raising intraocular pressure. In contrast, side sleeping compresses the lower eye against the pillow,…

Beyond turmeric: 5 Everyday spices that pack a powerful antioxidant punch, new research reveals Although turmeric is widely praised for its health benefits, its active compound curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body, limiting its effectiveness unless combined with black pepper and fat.
