I believe at some point in life, many of us warriors will have to deal with this yellow eyes and in my experience, many do not like it either. Is there a way to minimize this? I did a blog post yesterday on my blog joy2endure.com about this.

Some points I listed on minimizing yellow eyes which has been of great help to me are the importance of eating healthy and staying hydrated. What other pratical steps can we take in this regard?

Let's talk about this, warriors.

Thank you.
