ASKED AN OLD RICH MAN HOW HE
00:00:00.96\00:00:01.96
MADE HIS MONEY. THE OLD
GUY FINGERED HIS WOOL VEST
00:00:01.96\00:00:05.86
AND SAID, "WELL, SON, IT
WAS 1932. THE DEPTH OF THE
00:00:05.86\00:00:10.40
GREAT DEPRESSION. I WAS
DOWN TO MY LAST NICKEL. I
00:00:10.40\00:00:11.43
INVESTED THAT NICKEL IN
AN APPLE. I SPENT THE ENTIRE

DAY POLISHING THE
APPLE AND, AT THE END OF THE
00:00:14.53\00:00:19.83
DAY, I SOLD THE APPLE
FOR TEN CENTS. THE NEXT
00:00:19.83\00:00:20.83
MORNING, I INVESTED
THOSE TEN CENTS IN TWO APPLES.
00:00:20.83\00:00:25.63
I SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY
POLISHING THEM AND SOLD
00:00:25.63\00:00:29.83
THEM AT 5:00 P.M. FOR
20 CENTS. I CONTINUED THIS

HE CAN RAISE A FEW HUNDRED
00:04:05.26\00:04:11.00

INTO ANY CHRISTIAN BOOKSTORE

TODAY AND YOU WOULD THINK
THAT GOD'S PRIMARY CONCERN
00:04:35.60\00:04:38.20
IS TO MAKE SURE THAT HIS
PEOPLE MAKE MONEY. TITLES
00:04:38.20\00:04:39.33
SUCH AS: JESUS CEO,
GOD WANTS YOU TO BE RICH,
00:04:39.33\00:04:44.96
AND THE SEVEN STEPS TO
FINANCIAL SECURITY, CAN BE
00:04:44.96\00:04:48.20
FOUND ON THE SHELVES.
YOU COULD HONESTLY SAY THAT
00:04:48.20\00:04:49.23
THE NEW NAME FOR GOD IN
NORTH AMERICA IS "MONEY,"
00:04:49.23\00:04:54.43
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY
JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 6: 24,
00:04:54.43\00:05:03.13
BOB RUSSELL IN HIS BOOK MONEY: A
00:05:18.43\00:05:19.20
USER'S GUIDE WRITES:
00:05:19.20\00:05:20.60
MATERIALISM IS AN
ILLNESS THAT INFECTS THE HUMAN
00:05:40.23\00:05:41.23
FAMILY. BUT DON'T GET
THE IDEA IT'S ONLY A PROBLEM
00:05:41.23\00:05:45.66
HERE IN AFFLUENT
NORTH AMERICA. JAMES DOBSON
00:05:45.66\00:05:50.90
CITES THE EXPERIENCE OF
RON BLUE WHO WHEN VISITING
00:05:50.90\00:05:51.96
A SMALL RURAL
VILLAGE IN AFRICA ASKED A
00:05:51.96\00:05:56.90
NATIVE THERE WHAT WAS THE
BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING HIS
00:05:56.90\00:06:00.73
VILLAGE, AND TO
HIS SHOCK THE MAN SAID,
00:06:00.73\00:06:01.63
"MATERIALISM." RON
WAS STUNNED. HE THOUGHT IT
00:06:01.63\00:06:07.26
WOULD BE THE LACK OF
FOOD, OR THE NEED FOR DOCTORS,
00:06:07.26\00:06:11.63
OR PERHAPS WAR WITH
NEIGHBORING VILLAGES. HOW
00:06:11.63\00:06:12.60
COULD IT BE MATERIALISM?
00:06:12.60\00:06:17.30
THESE VILLAGERS DIDN'T
HAVE CARS, TELEVISIONS, OR
00:06:17.30\00:06:18.33
SATELLITE DISHES; NOT
EVEN HOMES. BUT THIS VILLAGER
00:06:18.33\00:06:20.70
SAID TO RON, "IF A MAN
HAS A MUD HUT, HE WANTS ONE
00:06:20.70\00:06:26.73
MADE OUT OF COW MANURE;
IF HE HAS A COW-MANURE HUT HE
00:06:26.73\00:06:27.83
WANTS A STONE HUT; IF
HE HAS A THATCH ROOF, HE
00:06:27.83\00:06:33.16
WANTS A TIN ROOF; IF
HE HAS ONE ACRE, HE WANTS
00:06:33.16\00:06:37.80
TWO." THEN HE SAID THIS:
"MATERIALISM IS A DISEASE
00:06:37.80\00:06:38.80
OF THE HEART; IT
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
00:06:38.80\00:06:44.76
WHERE YOU LIVE."
00:06:44.76\00:06:49.96
THE LORD JESUS HAS A
WORD ABOUT WEALTH, AND IT IS A
00:06:51.06\00:06:52.10
VERY WISE WORD INDEED.
IT IS A WORD EVERY PARENT
00:06:52.10\00:06:56.56
SHOULD LEARN THOROUGHLY,
EVERY CHILD SHOULD HEAR
00:06:56.56\00:07:00.20
EARLY, EVERY SINGLE
ADULT SHOULD PRACTICE
00:07:00.20\00:07:01.13
COMPLETELY, AND
EVERY SENIOR ADULT SHOULD
00:07:01.13\00:07:05.63
REMEMBER PERPETUALLY.
BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU STORE
00:07:05.63\00:07:11.96
YOUR WEALTH MATTHEW 6: 19 -21:
00:07:11.96\00:07:15.66
NOW IN THE GREEK
LANGUAGE THE WORDS "LAY UP" AND
00:07:39.76\00:07:40.76
"TREASURES" USE THE
SAME GREEK TERM, A GREEK VERB
00:07:40.76\00:07:45.00
THAT GIVES US THE
ENGLISH WORD, THESAURUS. A
00:07:45.00\00:07:49.33
THESAURUS IS A
TREASURY OF WORDS. WHAT JESUS
00:07:49.33\00:07:50.30
LITERALLY SAID
WAS, "DO NOT TREASURE
00:07:50.30\00:07:56.03
YOUR TREASURES." NOW BY
TREASURE JESUS REFERRED TO
00:07:56.03\00:08:01.00
ANYTHING TANGIBLE THAT
HAS A PRICE TAG. IF YOU CAN
00:08:01.00\00:08:02.06
SEE IT, TOUCH IT,
MEASURE IT, BUY IT, AND ENJOY
00:08:02.06\00:08:06.30
IT, IT HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BE A TREASURE.
00:08:06.30\00:08:11.50
NOW LET ME MAKE PLAIN
AT THE OUTSET THAT JESUS IS
00:08:13.30\00:08:14.26
NOT SAYING IT'S WRONG TO
HAVE MONEY. IN FACT, PAUL
00:08:14.26\00:08:18.10
SAID IN 1 TIMOTHY 6:17
00:08:18.10\00:08:25.03
DO YOU HAVE A NICE HOME?
00:08:39.33\00:08:39.83
ENJOY IT. DO YOU DRIVE A
NICE CAR? ENJOY IT. DO YOU
00:08:39.83\00:08:45.16
WEAR NICE CLOTHES?
00:08:45.16\00:08:45.60
ENJOY IT. THERE IS NOTHING
WRONG WITH YOUR POSSESSING
00:08:45.60\00:08:49.96
POSSESSIONS. WHAT IS
WRONG IS WHEN YOUR POSSESSIONS
00:08:49.96\00:08:51.00
POSSESS YOU. THE
PROBLEM IS NOT WHAT WE OWN, BUT
00:08:51.00\00:08:56.63
WHAT OWNS US. THE KEY
PHRASE HERE IS THE WORDS
00:08:56.63\00:09:02.80
"ON EARTH." THE ISSUE
IS LAYING UP TREASURES
00:09:02.80\00:09:03.76
"ON EARTH." JESUS IS
NOT CONCERNED WITH WHAT YOU
00:09:03.76\00:09:09.46
ARE LAYING UP, BUT WHERE
AND WHY YOU ARE LAYING IT
00:09:09.46\00:09:16.10
UP. YOU MAY HAVE YOUR
MONEY INVESTED IN BLUE
00:09:16.10\00:09:17.06
CHIP STOCKS; YOU MAY
HAVE YOUR CASH IN A STATE
00:09:17.06\00:09:22.20
OF THE ART VAULT, IN A
GOVERNMENT-BACKED BANK, OR
00:09:22.20\00:09:26.76
YOU MAY HAVE IT INVESTED
IN THE FINEST REAL ESTATE
00:09:26.76\00:09:27.76
IN THE WORLD. BUT, BELIEVE
ME, EITHER IT CAN BE TAKEN
00:09:27.76\00:09:31.16
AWAY FROM YOU, OR YOU
CAN BE TAKEN AWAY FROM IT.
00:09:31.16\00:09:36.86
I GOT TO THINKING
THE OTHER DAY ABOUT THE
00:09:39.56\00:09:40.56
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
OWNING A CAR AND LEASING A CAR.
00:09:40.56\00:09:43.86
IF YOU BUY A CAR, ONCE
THE PAYMENTS ARE UP YOU OWN
00:09:43.86\00:09:49.33
IT; BUT AT THE END OF
A LEASE YOU HAVE TO TURN
00:09:49.33\00:09:50.30
THE CAR BACK IN; YOU
CAN'T KEEP IT. ALL OF YOU HAVE
00:09:50.30\00:09:53.66
A LEASE ON LIFE. WHEN
THE LEASE IS UP, WHETHER YOU
00:09:53.66\00:09:57.86
WANT TO OR NOT, YOU'VE
GOT TO TURN EVERYTHING BACK
00:09:57.86\00:09:58.93
IN. YOU DON'T GET TO
KEEP ANYTHING. I HAVE DONE
00:09:58.93\00:10:02.70
A LOT OF FUNERALS AND
FOLLOWED A LOT OF HEARSES
00:10:02.70\00:10:05.86
TO THE GRAVEYARD; I
HAVE YET TO SEE A HEARSE WITH
00:10:05.86\00:10:06.83
A U-HAUL BEHIND IT.
THAT'S WHY THE LORD JESUS
00:10:06.83\00:10:12.40
GOES ON TO INSTRUCT US:
00:10:12.40\00:10:15.10
YOU SEE, YOU CAN
INVEST YOUR MONEY BASICALLY IN
00:10:24.90\00:10:26.03
ONE OF TWO PLACES; YOU
CAN EITHER INVEST IT IN EARTH,
00:10:26.03\00:10:29.56
OR YOU CAN INVEST IT IN
ETERNITY. YOU KNOW MOTHS
00:10:29.56\00:10:34.30
CAN'T EAT THE ROBES
OF REDEMPTION; RUST CAN'T
00:10:34.30\00:10:35.26
CORRODE THE CROWN OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS; THIEVES
00:10:35.26\00:10:37.80
CANNOT STEAL THE
REWARDS OF A RESURRECTION. BE
00:10:37.80\00:10:43.73
CAREFUL HOW YOU SEE
YOUR WEALTH JESUS SAID
00:10:43.73\00:10:44.66
IN MATTHEW 6: 22 - 23
00:10:44.66\00:10:48.76
WHAT JESUS IS TELLING
US HERE IS THE LIGHT THAT
00:11:08.56\00:11:09.53
COMES INTO A MAN'S
SOUL DEPENDS STRICTLY ON
00:11:09.53\00:11:12.10
THE SPIRITUAL CONDITION
OF THE EYE; AND THE SPIRITUAL
00:11:12.10\00:11:15.63
CONDITION OF THE EYE IS
DETERMINED BY HOW IT SEES
00:11:15.63\00:11:16.76
MONEY. JESUS TALKS
ABOUT A "GOOD" EYE AND A "BAD"
00:11:16.76\00:11:23.26
EYE. NOW THE WORD
"GOOD" HERE MEANS GENEROUS, AND
00:11:23.26\00:11:28.46
THE WORD "BAD" HERE
MEANS STINGY. HERE'S EXACTLY
00:11:28.46\00:11:29.46
WHAT JESUS IS ASKING: DO
YOU SEE WEALTH AS TREASURE
00:11:29.46\00:11:34.83
TO GET, OR AS A TOOL TO
GIVE? DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU
00:11:34.83\00:11:40.26
HAVE AS A GIFT OF
GOD'S LOVE, OR AS A RESULT OF
00:11:40.26\00:11:41.43
YOUR LABOR? YOU SEE,
TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE
00:11:41.43\00:11:47.13
"CATARACT OF CONSUMPTION"
OVER THEIR EYES, AND THEY
00:11:47.13\00:11:51.63
REALLY DON'T SEE MONEY
AND WEALTH THE WAY GOD SEES
00:11:51.63\00:11:52.70
IT. ALL THEY CAN SEE
WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY IS GET,
00:11:52.70\00:11:57.56
GET, GET; NEVER GIVE,
GIVE, GIVE. THE HEART IS
00:11:57.56\00:12:04.16
THE EYE OF THE SOUL. IF
YOUR HEART IS CLEAN YOU'LL
00:12:04.16\00:12:05.23
BE A GIVER. IF YOUR
HEART IS DIRTY YOU'LL
00:12:05.23\00:12:10.66
BE A GETTER.
00:12:10.66\00:12:15.03
NOW LET ME MAKE THIS
VERY PRACTICAL AND APPLICABLE.
00:12:16.43\00:12:17.46
IF YOU SEE WEALTH THE
WAY GOD SEES WEALTH, YOU WILL
00:12:17.46\00:12:21.13
GLADLY, GRATEFULLY, AND
GENEROUSLY INVEST IN GOD'S
00:12:21.13\00:12:28.03
WORK. YOU WILL GLADLY
GIVE TO GOD'S WORK BECAUSE
00:12:28.03\00:12:29.06
YOU WILL REALIZE THAT
THE WEALTH THAT YOU HAVE WAS
00:12:29.06\00:12:33.43
GIVEN TO YOU NOT ONLY TO
BLESS YOU, BUT SO THAT YOU
00:12:33.43\00:12:38.90
MIGHT BE A BLESSING.
YOU WILL GRATEFULLY GIVE TO
00:12:38.90\00:12:39.90
GOD'S WORK BECAUSE YOU
WILL REALIZE EVERYTHING
00:12:39.90\00:12:43.93
YOU HAVE CAME FROM GOD
TO BEGIN WITH. YOU WILL
00:12:43.93\00:12:47.93
GENEROUSLY GIVE TO
GOD'S WORK BECAUSE YOU WILL
00:12:47.93\00:12:48.90
REALIZE THAT WHEN YOU
DO GIVE TO GOD'S WORK YOU
00:12:48.90\00:12:54.23
ARE LAYING UP TREASURE
IN HEAVEN. YOU MAY HAVE
00:12:54.23\00:12:59.30
NEVER CONNECTED YOUR
HEART WITH YOUR EYES BEFORE, BUT
00:12:59.30\00:13:00.46
I READ WHERE THERE IS
A DISEASE CALLED "A DIRTY
00:13:00.46\00:13:08.13
HEART." IN THIS CONDITION
ULCERS FORM ON THE INNER
00:13:08.13\00:13:12.33
WALLS OF THE HEART,
WHICH THEN CAUSE THE EYES TO
00:13:12.33\00:13:13.33
BECOME BLOODSHOT. IF THAT
CONDITION IS NOT CORRECTED
00:13:13.33\00:13:18.33
THE BLOOD VESSELS IN
THE EYE CAN BURST CAUSING
00:13:18.33\00:13:23.23
BLINDNESS. IN OTHER
WORDS, A CLEAN HEART
00:13:23.23\00:13:24.13
GIVES CLEAR VISION.
00:13:24.13\00:13:29.16
MAY I BE HONEST WITH
YOU? IF YOU DO NOT TITHE;
00:13:32.10\00:13:33.06
IF YOU NEITHER BELIEVE
IN TITHING NOR PRACTICE
00:13:33.06\00:13:39.46
TITHING; IF YOU DO NOT
SEE CLEARLY ENOUGH THAT GOD
00:13:39.46\00:13:44.20
DEMANDS THE TITHE,
AND THAT GOD BLESSES THE
00:13:44.20\00:13:45.10
TITHE, AND GOD HONORS
THE TITHE, AND THAT YOUR
00:13:45.10\00:13:50.03
TITHE IS AN INVESTMENT
IN ETERNITY, AND TREASURE IN
00:13:50.03\00:13:54.80
HEAVEN, YOU HAVE A
DIRTY HEART. YOU BETTER BE
00:13:54.80\00:13:55.83
CAREFUL HOW YOU SEE
YOUR WEALTH. BE CAREFUL
00:13:55.83\00:14:01.60
NOT TO SERVE YOUR
WEALTH MATTHEW 6: 24
00:14:01.60\00:14:10.43
NOW IF YOU WANT TO
KNOW THE REAL POINT OF WHAT
00:14:25.06\00:14:26.06
JESUS WAS SAYING, HERE
IT IS: A MASTER IS A SLAVE
00:14:26.06\00:14:29.46
OWNER, AND EITHER YOU
ARE A MASTER OVER YOUR MONEY,
00:14:29.46\00:14:34.30
OR YOU ARE A MASTER TO
YOUR MONEY. NOW YOU CAN
00:14:34.30\00:14:35.30
WORK FOR MORE THAN ONE
EMPLOYER, BUT YOU CANNOT
00:14:35.30\00:14:40.30
SERVE TWO MASTERS. THERE
ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN LIFE
00:14:40.30\00:14:43.86
THAT NOBODY CAN DO.
00:14:43.86\00:14:44.33
YOU CANNOT WALK IN
TWO DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME
00:14:44.33\00:14:47.26
TIME. THAT'S WHY THE
GREAT PHILOSOPHER, YOGI BERRA
00:14:47.26\00:14:48.33
SAID, "IF YOU EVER COME
TO A FORK IN THE ROAD, TAKE
00:14:48.33\00:14:52.66
IT." YOU CAN'T THINK TWO
THOUGHTS AT THE SAME TIME,
00:14:52.66\00:14:57.86
AND YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO
MASTERS AT THE SAME TIME.
00:14:57.86\00:14:58.86
THIS IS NOT A QUESTION
OF ADVISABILITY. JESUS DID
00:14:58.86\00:15:02.50
NOT SAY, "YOU SHOULD
NOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND
00:15:02.50\00:15:05.63
WEALTH."
00:15:05.63\00:15:05.86
IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF
ACCOUNTABILITY. JESUS DID
00:15:05.86\00:15:07.86
NOT SAY, "YOU MUST
NOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND
00:15:07.86\00:15:08.76
WEALTH." IT IS A MATTER
OF IMPOSSIBILITY. "YOU CANNOT
00:15:08.76\00:15:13.50
SERVE GOD AND WEALTH."
00:15:13.50\00:15:20.20
NOW NO MAN CAN SERVE TWO
MASTERS, BUT EVERYBODY IS
00:15:21.90\00:15:22.90
GOING TO SERVE ONE.
BOB DYLAN WROTE A SONG
00:15:22.90\00:15:26.43
. IT GOES LIKE THIS:
00:15:26.43\00:15:29.63
HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE
OF THE BOTTOM LINE. YOU CAN
00:16:06.53\00:16:07.53
FOCUS ON ETERNAL THINGS
AND HAVE EARTHLY THINGS.
00:16:07.53\00:16:10.33
BUT YOU CANNOT FOCUS
ON EARTHLY THINGS AND HAVE
00:16:10.33\00:16:15.16
ETERNAL THINGS. WE WERE
CREATED TO SERVE THE LORD.
00:16:15.16\00:16:16.23
WEALTH WAS CREATED
TO SERVE US. WE CANNOT
00:16:16.23\00:16:21.40
EXPECT THE LORD TO SERVE
US IF WE'RE GOING TO SERVE
00:16:21.40\00:16:26.03
WEALTH. WHERE IS YOUR
ALLEGIANCE TODAY? HAVE
00:16:26.03\00:16:27.00
YOU EMBRACED THE CROSS
OF CHRIST AND DOES YOUR LIFE
00:16:27.00\00:16:32.06
REFLECT YOUR ALLEGIANCE?
00:16:32.06\00:16:32.53
I PLEDGE MY
ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB OF GOD
00:16:32.53\00:16:36.56
- HOW ABOUT YOU?
00:16:36.56\00:16:40.60
I HAVE HEARD HOW
CHRISTIANS LONG AGO
00:16:42.86\00:16:48.66
WERE BROUGHT
BEFORE A TYRANTS THRONE
00:16:48.96\00:16:54.80
AND THEY WERE TOLD THAT
HE WOULD SPARE THEIR LIVES
00:16:55.06\00:17:01.50
IF THEY WOULD
RENOUNCE THE NAME OF CHRIST.
00:17:01.73\00:17:07.76
BUT ONE BY ONE THEY CHOSE TO DIE
00:17:08.06\00:17:14.63
THE SON OF GOD
THEY WOULD NOT DENY
00:17:14.96\00:17:21.13
LIKE A GREAT ANGELIC CHOIR SINGS
00:17:21.43\00:17:27.43
I CAN ALMOST HEAR
THEIR VOICES RING.
00:17:27.83\00:17:33.46
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB
00:17:33.80\00:17:40.50
WITH ALL MY STRENGTH
00:17:40.76\00:17:43.66

00:17:46.86\00:17:53.33
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB.
00:17:53.56\00:18:04.20
NOW THE YEARS HAVE
COME AND THE YEARS HAVE GONE
00:18:08.76\00:18:14.53
AND THE CAUSE OF
JESUS STILL GOES ON
00:18:14.93\00:18:20.83
AND NOW OUR TIME HAS
COME TO COUNT THE COST
00:18:21.10\00:18:26.73
TO REJECT THIS
WORLD, TO EMBRACE THE CROSS
00:18:27.20\00:18:33.46
AND ONE BY ONE
LET US LIVE OUR LIVES
00:18:33.80\00:18:40.60
FOR THE ONE WHO
DIED TO GIVE US LIFE.
00:18:41.00\00:18:46.86
TILL THE TRUMPET
SOUNDS ON THE FINAL DAY
00:18:47.20\00:18:53.00
LET US PROUDLY
STAND AND BOLDLY SAY
00:18:53.33\00:18:59.46
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE LAMB
00:18:59.83\00:19:06.43

HI, EVERYONE! TODAY,
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR EYES.
00:22:11.50\00:22:12.53
OFTEN WE CAN TELL WHAT
SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING
00:22:12.53\00:22:17.33
JUST BY LOOKING INTO
THESE "MIRRORS TO THE SOUL".
00:22:17.33\00:22:21.36
AND, YOUR DOCTOR CAN
OFTEN DIAGNOSE AILMENTS JUST BY
00:22:21.36\00:22:22.43
LOOKING IN YOUR EYES.
AS YOU GROW OLDER, YOU MAY
00:22:22.43\00:22:23.43
NOTICE YOUR EYES "MATURE"
IN UNWANTED WAYS, SUCH AS
00:22:23.43\00:22:31.10
CHANGING VISION OR
CATARACTS. WELL, HERE ARE
00:22:31.10\00:22:32.03
SOME IMPORTANT THINGS
TO REMEMBER ABOUT KEEPING
00:22:32.03\00:22:36.23
YOUR EYES HEALTHY: 1)
DEFINITELY, VITAMIN A IS
00:22:36.23\00:22:41.16
ESSENTIAL AND CARROTS,
WITH THEIR AMPLE SUPPLY
00:22:41.16\00:22:42.16
OF BETA-CAROTENE -
THE PRECURSOR TO VITAMIN A
00:22:42.16\00:22:47.86
- ARE A HEALTHY CHOICE.
00:22:47.86\00:22:48.36
OTHER GREAT SOURCES
OF BETA-CAROTENE INCLUDE:
00:22:48.36\00:22:51.53
SWEET POTATOES, YAMS,
SPINACH, AND CANTALOUPE.
00:22:51.53\00:22:54.76
BE SURE TO CHOOSE WHOLE
PLANT FOODS OVER VITAMIN
00:22:54.76\00:22:55.76
SUPPLEMENTS. 2) LUTEIN,
WHICH IS AN ANTIOXIDANT,
00:22:55.76\00:23:00.43
IS ALSO A KEY PLAYER
WHEN IT COMES TO HEALTHY EYES.
00:23:00.43\00:23:07.26
GOOD SOURCES INCLUDE:
KALE, COLLARD GREENS, AND
00:23:07.26\00:23:08.26
SPINACH. ALSO,
BROCCOLI, AVOCADO, AND
00:23:08.26\00:23:12.76
CORN. BIOFLAVONOIDS AND
POLYPHENOLS ARE BIG WORDS,
00:23:12.76\00:23:18.53
BUT THEY ARE ALSO
POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS THAT WILL
00:23:18.53\00:23:19.56
HELP TO KEEP YOUR
EYES HEALTHY. GOOD SOURCES
00:23:19.56\00:23:23.10
INCLUDE:
BLUEBERRIES, CHERRIES, AND
00:23:23.10\00:23:26.76
POMEGRANATES. 3)
DRINK AN ABUNDANCE OF WATER,
00:23:26.76\00:23:27.73
UPWARDS OF AROUND 8 CUPS
EACH DAY. WATER WILL HELP
00:23:27.73\00:23:34.30
TO KEEP YOUR EYES NICELY
LUBRICATED. IF YOU SUFFER
00:23:34.30\00:23:39.70
FROM CHRONICALLY DRY
EYES, TRY EATING MORE FOODS RICH
00:23:39.70\00:23:40.93
IN OMEGA-3'S, INCLUDING
WALNUTS AND GROUND FLAX
00:23:40.93\00:23:45.56
SEEDS. 4) DRAG
YOURSELF AWAY FROM YOUR COMPUTER
00:23:45.56\00:23:52.60
AND THE TELEVISION! SO
MANY OF US SPEND EXCESSIVE
00:23:52.60\00:23:53.63
AMOUNTS OF TIME GAZING
AT THESE TWO SCREENS AND,
00:23:53.63\00:23:58.23
ALL THE WHILE, OUR EYES
ARE BEING COMPROMISED. FOR
00:23:58.23\00:24:02.60
EXAMPLE, PEOPLE WHO
ARE ON THEIR COMPUTERS FOR
00:24:02.60\00:24:03.60
MANY HOURS EACH DAY
MAY EXPERIENCE HEADACHES,
00:24:03.60\00:24:09.46
BLURRED VISION, DRY OR
BURNING EYES. WHEN YOU'RE
00:24:09.46\00:24:13.33
USING YOUR COMPUTER, BE
SURE TO BLINK OFTEN, AND
00:24:13.33\00:24:14.33
TRY TO TAKE A BREAK
AT LEAST EVERY HALF HOUR.
00:24:14.33\00:24:18.56
5) GET SOME SLEEP!
YOUR EYES ARE SO BUSY TAKING
00:24:18.56\00:24:24.50
EVERYTHING IN ALL
DAY, EVERY DAY. REWARD THEM
00:24:24.50\00:24:25.46
WITH A GOOD 7-8 HOURS OF
REST EACH NIGHT TO REPAIR
00:24:25.46\00:24:30.70
AND REJUVENATE. GOT A
TWITCHY EYE? THAT'S A SURE
00:24:30.70\00:24:35.50
SIGN THAT YOUR EYES
NEED REST. 6) GET PHYSICALLY
00:24:35.50\00:24:36.50
ACTIVE, AND THE
FRESH SUPPLY OF OXYGEN-RICH
00:24:36.50\00:24:40.60
BLOOD WILL REFRESH YOUR
EYES. NOW, HERE ARE SOME
00:24:40.60\00:24:46.16
GOOD EXERCISES TO DO FOR
YOUR EYES: LOOK AS FAR TO
00:24:46.16\00:24:47.16
YOUR RIGHT AS POSSIBLE
FOR 3-5 SECONDS, THEN AS FAR
00:24:47.16\00:24:53.30
TO YOUR LEFT AS POSSIBLE
FOR 3-5 SECONDS. REST FOR
00:24:53.30\00:24:57.43
A FEW SECONDS, THEN
REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES. LOOK AS
00:24:57.43\00:24:58.46
FAR UP AS POSSIBLE FOR
3-5 SECONDS, THEN LOOK AS FAR
00:24:58.46\00:25:05.50
DOWN AS POSSIBLE FOR 3-5
SECONDS. AGAIN, REST, THEN
00:25:05.50\00:25:09.23
REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES.
00:25:09.23\00:25:09.73
SLOWLY ROLL YOUR EYES IN
A CIRCLE, FIRST CLOCKWISE,
00:25:09.73\00:25:15.20
THEN COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
00:25:15.20\00:25:15.73
REST, THEN REPEAT
SEVERAL TIMES. BE SURE TO ROLL
00:25:15.73\00:25:20.33
SLOWLY - IT SHOULD TAKE
AT LEAST 3 SECONDS FOR YOU TO
00:25:20.33\00:25:21.43
ROLL YOUR EYES IN A FULL
CIRCLE. KEEPING YOUR EYES
00:25:21.43\00:25:26.33
HEALTHY NOW WILL HELP
TO ENSURE THAT YOU SEE THE
00:25:26.33\00:25:29.36
WORLD CLEARLY WELL
INTO THE FUTURE. I'LL
00:25:29.36\00:25:30.26
SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
