Can these quick 10-minute ‘Eye Exercises’ reverse the aging process and drive your body to become leaner, stronger, and faster?
Thousands of elite athletes have previously done so!

Dara Torres (age 41) was the “oldest swimmer in Olympic history” at the 2008 Beijing Games. She won three silver medals, outperforming children half her age.

This was her second retirement appearance. Over-40 Olympian swimmer? It’s unheard of.

“Her physique is ridiculous,” noted Women’s Health. [And] seven years later, she appears thinner, stronger, and not a day older.”

Dara (now 45) was disqualified by 0.09 seconds during the 2012 Summer Olympic trials four years later. That is rapid than the blink of an eye.

She refused to travel to London. But London would have been the icing on the cake for Dara. She has already won 12 Olympic medals in five Games since 1984.

But the true question is…

How did this middle-aged mother (who had reconstructive knee surgery, no less) “comeback” and win so many times?

Is she a superhero?

Was it only that she had “the body” for it? Or did she employ specific “vision training” like what I’m going to show you to stay youthful, fit, and lean?

(HINT: It’s Something in Her Eyes)

What if I told you….

Professional athletes, police enforcement, and military forces (from all over the world) use an ethical (and legal) fitness training system to acquire an unfair advantage?

An “unique fitness secret” that causes your body to grow leaner, meaner, and quicker while also reversing the aging process?

And that you only need 10 minutes a day to do these workouts without breaking a sweat or raising a finger?

Doesn’t it sound strange?

(NOTE: I’m not referring about meditation, visualization, or other “spiritual” techniques…)

What I’m referring about is considerably more solid and “real.”

In truth…

Even if you’re 40, 50, or older…
Even if you’ve had children and are struggling to reduce that stubborn fat…
Even if you’re battling to exercise, eat right, and maintain a healthy lifestyle…
Even if you are currently spending 8 to 10 hours every day in front of a computer…
Even if you’re “feeling your age”… And you’re getting ill or hurt more frequently than normal…
These amazingly easy 10-minute exercises will help you defy and reverse aging, giving you…
The Stamina, Energy, and Flexibility of a Twenty-Something!
(Think of it as a reset button for your body!)

I agree – it seems like something out of a summer blockbuster movie, like Spiderman or Batman…

But, if you’ll just give me the benefit of the doubt for a second, I’ll show you, categorically, how sports science, lab data, and real-life instances back up every single assertion I’ve made thus far… plus more!

But first, please allow me to introduce myself…

My name is Dr. Eric Cobb, and I am the co-founder, president, and CEO of Z-Health Performance Solutions, LLC.

At Z-Health, we essentially teach people how to function at a better level.

That entails getting in shape, exercising properly, managing discomfort, recuperating, and avoiding damage.

We do this through some unique “specialist training” that I created in-house over the previous 15 years. (I’ll elaborate later.)

We’ve now taught over 1,250 fitness professionals in 16 countries throughout the years. As a result, these trainers have assisted over 70,000 people from many walks of life. Our clientele is a who’s who of elite sports… from the MLB, NFL, NBA, UFC, PGA, and FIFA… Even triathletes, professional boxers, and Olympians.

I’ve even worked with military and law enforcement speciality units (such as SWAT or SEALS) all around Europe and the United States. In fact, I’ve taught the bodyguards of some of the world’s highest-paid CEOs and executives!

So, why do so many people seek assistance from Z-Health?

I’ve committed my life to “engineering” human performance, becoming fitter faster, and slowing the aging process.

As an example…

I have a strong understanding of the human body. I’ve been studying it since I was ten, when I requested for “Gray’s Anatomy” as a birthday present.
I’ve made it my life’s work to research world-class human performance… I’ve read over 8,000 books (and counting) on the subject, and I’ve studied under martial arts experts, neuroscientists, and sports scientists… I’ve even created a pain management method based on what we refer to as the Threat Neuromatrix.

All of these are valid reasons for my clients to contact me.

But the true reason Z-Health is so highly regarded is due to something else.

In a nutshell, I’ve discovered…

The human body’s GPS for aging

What exactly do I mean? That I’ve mapped out what others refer to as the “natural process of the aging body”… And I know how to slow things down, if not reverse it… Giving them a “fresh lease” on life by instilling in them young vitality, flexibility, and strength.

Allow me to explain:

Right now, you may be utilizing a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) in your automobile. What you may not realize is that it must communicate with at least three satellites… before it can provide you with driving directions

Now, if only one of these three links fails, your GPS will cease operating. If the connection is poor, you may receive the dreaded “looking for satellites…” message, causing you to drive in circles and become disoriented.

When this occurs, you waste time, energy, and fuel. In some ways, this circumstance aged your vehicle.

Now, thanks to my extensive study and a long-ago article about tennis star Bjorn Borg… I noticed that the human body is extremely comparable to this three-satellite system.

Consider your body to be an automobile. You are the one in charge. The GPS in your head is your brain.

Your three “satellites” that direct how you move your body are your…

The visual system, the inner ear balancing system (vestibular), and the bodily movement awareness system are all interconnected (proprioception).

And if any of these “satellites” links fails or becomes misaligned… Your body may respond with pain, stiffness, inflexibility, and weakness. It’s your body’s method of saying “something’s wrong” or “I’m getting conflicting messages.”

But wait a minute — you might be wondering, “What does this have to do with reversing the affects of aging?” “How can I keep active, skinny, and enjoy life?”

Let us have a look at one of these satellites. Your vision…

The Relationship Between Vision and Aging

Here’s the amusing part…

We most likely rely on our eyesight more than any other sense. It’s entirely unquestioned… In many ways, he is misunderstood!

For example, did you know… When you have impaired vision, your body may react in the following ways?

Back Problems with Chronic Neck Pain
Jaw Ache (TMJ)
Plantar Fasciitis Hip Pain Knee Pain (Foot Pain)
Breathing Mechanics Issues
Dizziness due to double vision
Vision Distortion
Bad Posture

Doesn’t this list of issues seem like “aging effects”? But why would your body react in this manner? Who would have guessed that requiring glasses might result in chronic pain?

It’s actually fairly straightforward. When you have weak vision, you compensate using other areas of your body.

Allow me to explain…

You extend your neck to have a better view. To walk without falling, you adjust your stride. You stick out your jaw. To view things, you move your head rather than your eyes. To put it another way, you shift your center of gravity and disperse your weight… To improve one’s vision.

All of these little changes occur without your knowledge. You could even be doing it while you read this on your laptop, PC, iPad, or iPhone.

And all of these little modifications add up over time… Your posture hunches or becomes “turtle-like.” Your neck, shoulders, and back are in continual discomfort. After a while, you begin to “feel old.”

What Happens If You Have “Eagle Eye Vision?”

On the other hand, when your vision is strong, this is what happens…

You move more efficiently, without pain…
Your reflexes and reaction time is faster…
You have higher accuracy (catching, shooting, throwing)…
You don’t get injured as often, because your eye-brain-body is aligned…
Your hand-eye-body coordination is lightening quick…
You simply become a better athlete…

Fact is — our vision is more important than most people think. It affects nearly everything you do physically.

Professional athletes understand this. That’s why “eye training” is part of their exercise regimen. It’s why athletes from the MLB, NBA, NFL, PGA, UFC, FIFA and X-Games come to Z-Health to perform better.

But exactly how important is your vision?

Realize this. There are 27 elements I track and measure with my clients.

It’s not just about visual clarity. That’s what everyone focuses on.

When you really think about it, you realize your vision is also…

Depth perception – seeing objects at different distances
Peripheral range – seeing around you without moving your eyes
Saccadic movement – how fast and accurately your eyes move when you read or scan
Visual acuity – how clearly you see things
Color and contrast discrimination – seeing separate objects

In fact, your vision also affects your brain and how well you think!

Think about it. What do your eyes do when you read? They process information. If they are not doing it at optimal levels you end up affecting your cognition, focus and energy!

As I said — major league, national level and Olympic teams use vision training. But it’s not just a “sports thing.” Even scientific labs around the globe are looking to use vision training to help with aging, stroke and brain trauma victims and more!

The Modern World Was Designed To Destroy Our Vision

You see, without even knowing it, a lot of what we do everyday in the 21st century is actually destroying our vision in ways worse than we can ever imagine!

And as I’ve already said — when our vision is impaired, it can lead to chronic pain, injuries and speeding up the aging process in our bodies!

The most obvious “bad guy” in all this is our modern day office job.

If you sit in front of a computer for 8 to 10 hours a day, you are putting your sight in a “visual cage”. You stare at the same screen every day, from the same distance all day and it’s this same sized “box” you’re looking at, day-in, day-out. It’s a narrow tunnel from your eyeballs to the monitor. And because you don’t give your eyes the “workout” they need… you’re essentially “starving” your eyes from looking far ahead, peripherally, and at different colors and depth. In fact, the only time you ever look into the distance is on the drive home! But it gets worse… When you come home, what do you look at next? Your flatscreen TV? Your iPad, iPhone and iPod? Or your bedroom TV before you fall asleep?

Altogether, modern life has “fitted” our visual range into these “small vision boxes.”

And because we’re not using our eyes fully… From peripheral range, depth perception to color contrast… These skills begin to atrophy.

“If You Don’t Use It, You Lose It!”

So over time, your vision’s many other functions begin to weaken — depth perception, accuracy, peripheral awareness, contrast and more!

And the next time you go out to play baseball, football or soccer with your friends… You end up being clumsier, less athletic and injury prone.

But wait, it gets worse. In our busy, hectic 21st century lives… We’re also faced with these factors which can also harm our eyesight…

Cigarette Smoke
Poor Diet
Lack of Exercise
Smog\sAlcohol\sUV Rays
Blue Light\sToxins and Chemicals
Free Radicals
Excessive Sunlight
It’s Like Your Eyes Are Under Siege!
But the worst of it all is your eyes are at risk…simply by using them!

It sounds crazy. But unfortunately, your eyes are at risk simply by using them.

You see, your eyes are the only part on your body where the blood vessels, nervous tissues and its highly specialized retina cells are exposed to light.

This constant exposure to light creates free radicals. Free radicals are known to affect your cell health. Over time, it can cause some serious damage. (Like abnormal cell growth and cancer).

So it’s not hard to understand why your vision gets worse as you age.

But here’s the thing…

The whole “aging eyes” is actually a big, fat myth!

MYTH: Your eyesight gets worse as you age
TRUTH: You can reverse the “aging effects”

Through my research and working with over 70,000 clients through my network of 1,250 trainers…

Z-Health has proven this myth utterly, completely wrong.

It’s simply not true.

Vision is actually a skill you can train.

Over the last decade, we’ve proven this over and over again with our clients, patients and partners. Just take a look at what some of them have said about going through our training…
