Paul McCartney’s Secret to Saving His Eyesight
Paul McCartney revealed the “eye yoga” he’s practiced for decades, saying it s the reason he still didn’t need glasses at the age of 78.
The former Beatle said he discovered the exercises in India, where a yogi explained the reasoning to him.
“He explained that your eyes are muscles whereas your ears aren’t, so you can’t exercise your ears,” McCartney noted on a recent episode of
Table Manners With Jessie Ware. “But your eyes, you can.” He went on to explain how this works: “So, head still, and then you look up as far as you can – one, two, three – go back to the middle, then down – one, two, three – then back to the middle. You do three lots of that, then go to the left and the right. Now you’ve got a cross, up and down and sideways; now you do the diagonals.”
