You know how Science keeps us on our toes by constantly
updating what is good for us and what is not? Like wine, butter, chocolate,
fish, sugar, aspertane, aspirin, etc. etc. etc.? Well, my Aunt Dorothy

my muscles would freeze and I would be stuck forever.
Now, accordiing to todays

The Eye Enhancer
Either lying down or sitting, with your palms toward your face, place your
middle fingers between your eyebrows, above the bridge of your nose.
Place your index fingers with light pressure at the outer corner of each
eye, so each hand creates a V, while keeping your brows and skin from
wrinkling. Look toward the top of your head. Squint up with the lower
eyelid, feeling the outer eye muscle pulse. Squint up and release 10
times. Hold the squint and squeeze your eyes tightly shut, keep your
buttocks tight, and count to 40. Repeat twice daily.
Don’t forget to keep those buttocks tight, or you might wind up in big trouble!
