You talked about palming, which is one of those really important things.

0:14.0

And but Palming is only one of the three big things you talk about to have a healthy mind and healthy vision.

0:19.0

Can you tell me the big three and let's get into Palming what is what that is well so the big

0:23.9

three I mean this it can come up with a list of five and seven but big three is

0:28.0

we need light rest and movement so the eyes need rest that is palming we need sunlight and I know you're big on sunlight too. We do need natural light and there's so many studies now and I think even traditional
