Why do some people have eyes that stick out?

Question

my cousin's eyes stick out farther than most people. idk if u know what i mean but like from the side of her face you can see that they bulge out a little. i'm too scared to ask her so why does it do that? like it's not extreme like i've seen some other people but it does stick out some. her dad's eyes do that too. is it just genetics? or can it be treated?

Answer 1

It can be genetic but also, a very interesting theory regarding a bulging appearance to your cousins eyes is that she could be deficient in Vitamin E. Improvement of such muscle abnormalities (by increasing dietary vitamin E) as this have been frequently reported in medical journals.

Eat more foods rich in vitamin E ie ~ wheat germ, vegetable oils, organic nuts, leafy and green vegies, spinach, whole wheat, wholegrain cereals and brown rice and eggs.

Vitamin E rich foods are spectacularly good for you mate.

A diet rich in vitamin E will help keep you looking younger by retarding cellular aging due to oxidation;

Supply oxygen to the body to give you more endurance;

protect your lungs against air pollution by working with vitamin A;

Help to prevent various forms of cancer;

prevent and dissolve blood clots;

alleviate fatigue and exhaustion;

prevent thick scar formation externally (when applied topically - it can be absorbed through the skin) and internally;

accelerate healing of burns;

working as a diuretic it can help to lower blood pressure and

help alleviate leg cramps and charley horse.

Don't supplement with vitamin E unless you have been fully assessed by a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath as it is a fat soluble vitamin.........  besides, the whole natural source of the food will always be the easiest for your body to assimilate and the most nutritious.

hope this helps u

peace 2 u

Answer 4

I remember hearing a long time ago thyroid problems caused this. I remember in the USA the first President Bush & his wife both had this but her eyes bulged out & now she looks fine so evidently it went away with good health care. I remember this because the story was so funny cause they also had 2 dogs that had the same health problem.
