Diet therapy is now a very popular term known to all of us. Eye protection does not only mean watching TV or playing computer games at a shorter time, but also requires us to eat in a healthy way. Diet therapy for eye protection is as well a trend.
In many people’s opinions, feeding eyes is the most important and healthiest thing that can ensure good vision. The foods you eat have a direct or indirect influence on eye health, which means they can make declining vision better, and sometimes they can cure eye disease, even blindness. There are many kinds of food that will do a lot of help. A diet which includes lean meat, poultry meat, liver, fish, shrimp, milk, eggs and so on is rich in protein, which will supply necessary protein for cell tissue of eyes.
Besides, vitamins are also indispensable parts. Vitamin A is crucial in maintaining clear vision, particularly in a somber room. Night blindness is also the symptom of a Vitamin A deficiency. Together with Zinc which is an essential mineral in maintaining a healthy retina, Vitamin A plays an important role in keeping the lens of our eyes clear and healthy. If we take Vitamin A as much as possible, we can prevent our eyes from free radical damage and cataract formation. Foods like soybean, almond, kelp, laver, mutton, oyster and tea contain a lot of Zinc. Other Vitamins like Vitamin E and Vitamin C are essential antioxidant vitamins working with Vitamin A to protect our eyes and help eye circulation. Vitamin C is very popular in our daily life. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in Vitamin C, and this wonderful vitamin can be found in our daily foods like blueberries and bilberries, cantaloupe, guavas, kiwis, lemons, persimmons, broccoli, carrots, celery, peppers, collards, corn, mustard greens, turnip greens, spinach, sweet peppers and tomatoes. Never forget that selenium helps our body to absorb Vitamin E of which vegetable-oil is the best source. There are other good sources include sunflower seeds, peanuts, peanut butter, mango, and eggs. By feeding your eyes the above-mentioned foods, our eyes will be provided with excellent antioxidant support.
Porridge is also a good diet therapy for eye protection. Here is a recommendation: porridge with black beans and Chinese wolfberry. Black beans are rich in protein, carotene, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, and nicotinic acid (NA). This porridge can be benefit for our liver and kidney, reduce the blood pressure, and dispel fatigue of our eyes.
