improved expression following protein rich meal?

[Hopeful2]

Okay, I don't know if I'm imagining things . . . With all the Christmas festivities and snacking, I may have skipped a few quality meals.

I have been thinking for some time now that my glands express better when I have eaten well that day, and vice versa. Does anyone else notice improved secretions after having had a high quality meal (good protein, low fat, high veggies) ?

I know the meibum fluid is being produced all the time. I just wonder if it is possible for it to be directly altered by poor food choices; like, shortbread, minced tarts, yummy chocolates, egg nog

Hope this isn't too far out there . . .

since thanksgiving until xmas i have been eating horribly -so much darn sugar, cookies cakes you name it! well, my glands got so clogged within days of the doc expressing them.. i could see the white bumps when i would do a compress-when it gets to that stage you can get the stuff out.. so i am back to fresh fruits, veggies, fish and maybe some chicken, eggs too, sweet potatoes.. so boring but i swear this sugar attack i have had has done a number on me.. omg...

I know what you mean . . . those little adorable cookies are soooo irresistible I have a really big sweet tooth! Funny thing, when I was young my older sisters and mom would tease me and say my sweet tooth would get the better of me . . . maybe it has ;(

Well we have a new year just around the corner and I know my new year's resolution is going to include lots of healthy eating, meditation, getting to bed early, exercises . . . I have probably forgotten something important . . . oh, yes . . . lid massages.

Seriously, I am thinking of investing in a juicer. I can't seem to get enough of the good green stuff (spinach, kale). If I could just drink it, I think I'd be able to get enough green power into me at least every other day!

Happy New Year!

Now you have me researching to find thread that mentioned Whey protein in a study that while they were trying to build muscle dry eye improvement was noted...
