Useful products for vision and eyes

Our eyes are very busy these days. To keep them healthy, and good vision until old age, you need to fol­low some rules: prop­er­ly orga­nize the work­place, take time­ly breaks when work­ing with a com­put­er or oth­er work that requires eye strain, and do spe­cial exer­cis­es for the eyes. They restore the blood sup­ply to the organ of vision, in oth­er words, nour­ish the eyes.

And the nec­es­sary sub­stances, trace ele­ments enter our body, of course. from food. So what prod­ucts are essen­tial for the eyes?

Carrot.

Car­rots are rich in vit­a­min A, which is most essen­tial for the eyes. Con­sid­er­ing that vit­a­min A is fat-sol­u­ble, car­rots should be con­sumed with veg­etable or but­ter, cream. Visu­al acu­ity helps main­tain beta-carotene, which, more­over, plays an impor­tant role in the pre­ven­tion of age-relat­ed visu­al impair­ment. Even in car­rots there are vit­a­mins like C, B, D, E, and trace ele­ments potas­si­um, cal­ci­um, sodi­um, phos­pho­rus, iron, zinc, cop­per, flu­o­rine.

Spinach.

Spinach, due to its chem­i­cal com­po­si­tion, pro­tects the eyes from dis­eases. For exam­ple, lutein pre­vents cataracts from devel­op­ing. Spinach is very nutri­tious and con­tains vit­a­mins A, C, E, K, B2, B6, as well as cop­per, zinc, phos­pho­rus, potas­si­um, mag­ne­sium, pro­tein and fat­ty acids. Those who eat spinach reg­u­lar­ly main­tain eye health well into old age.

Soy.

Soy con­tains fat­ty acids and vit­a­min E, which have an anti-inflam­ma­to­ry effect. Soy also con­tains B vit­a­mins (B1, B2, PP, B4, B5, B6, B9), beta-carotene, vit­a­min A. The fol­low­ing microele­ments are pre­sent­ed: sodi­um, cal­ci­um, mag­ne­sium, potas­si­um, phos­pho­rus, iron, iodine, zinc.

Onion and garlic.

Onions and gar­lic are the best foods for restor­ing vision. First of all, gar­lic reduces cho­les­terol lev­els, which means it restores blood cir­cu­la­tion. Blood, freely mov­ing through the ves­sels, car­ries nutri­ents to all organs, includ­ing the eyes. Sci­ence has proven that by low­er­ing cho­les­terol lev­els, we improve visu­al acu­ity. Gar­lic is also rich in vit­a­min C, quercetin and sele­ni­um, which pro­tect the lens and pre­vent age-relat­ed eye dis­eases, includ­ing cataracts. They con­tain such an impor­tant ele­ment as sul­fur. It affects the growth of tis­sues and pro­tects the eyes from con­junc­tivi­tis and dys­troph­ic dis­eases.

Eggs.

Eggs are very good for vision, they also con­tain sul­fur, lutein and amino acids. More­over, quail eggs are much rich­er in vit­a­mins A, B1 and B2 than chick­en. They also have more iron, cop­per and glycine. All these vit­a­mins and microele­ments improve the metab­o­lism in eye tis­sues. Their defi­cien­cy leads to dry­ness of the cornea, con­junc­tivi­tis, bar­ley.

Broccoli.

Broc­coli con­tains lutein and zeax­atin which are very ben­e­fi­cial for the eye lens. Also, the carotenes con­tained in broc­coli pro­tect eye cells from free rad­i­cals.

Black chocolate.

Dark choco­late con­tains flavonoids, which strength­en the blood ves­sels of the eyes, so that the cornea of ​​​​the eyes remains strong and does not under­go destruc­tion.

Blueberry.

Per­haps the most famous “pro­tec­tor” of the eyes. It has a huge amount of antiox­i­dants. It con­tains acids, trace ele­ments, vit­a­mins A, C, B and PP, lutein. Blue­ber­ries have a very good effect on twi­light vision. Sub­stances that are in it, increase visu­al acu­ity, relieve eye fatigue.

Fish and fish oil.

Fish oil is very impor­tant for the eyes. It pre­vents the appear­ance of a yel­low spot on the scle­ra and the devel­op­ment of oth­er eye dis­eases of the eyes. Fish is the main source of omega fat­ty acids, which have a ben­e­fi­cial effect on vision. A lack of these acids can lead to dry eyes. Acids are found in salmon, tuna, sar­dine and her­ring.

Fruits and berries.

Orange, apri­cot, kiwi, black cur­rant, cran­ber­ry are very rich in vit­a­min C, which strength­ens blood ves­sels. Cit­rus fruits help restore blood cir­cu­la­tion in the ves­sels of the organs of vision. Apri­cots and mel­ons are rich in beta-carotene, which syn­the­sizes vit­a­min A. Beta-carotene pro­tects against the devel­op­ment of night blind­ness, as well as for the pre­ven­tion of cataracts.

All these healthy foods and fruits and veg­eta­bles should be com­bined with nuts, herbs, seeds, as well as with sprouts of var­i­ous plants, espe­cial­ly wheat, oats, and flax.
