Vision is one of the five senses that humans use most often.

Over time, the eyes become more sensitive.

Often suffer from the effects of external aggressive factors:

  1. Improper nutrition (excess of salty, sweet, fatty foods),
  2. Bad habits (alcohol, smoking, caffeine),
  3. Long-term strain on the eyes (reading in poor light, working with small details),
  4. Occupational vision impairment (chemists, drivers, welders),
  5. Lack of sleep.

Products that improve vision

Deterioration of vision largely depends on nutrition. Properly selected products will provide our body with the necessary vitamins, minerals, microelements, which will start the recovery processes in the organs of vision.

Carrot

The main source of beta-carotene. Rich in minerals such as potassium, sodium, iron, phosphorus, zinc. And, of course, contains vitamins A, B, C, D, E. Regular consumption of carrots slows down the deterioration of visual acuity.

Blueberry

High-class antioxidant. Contains vitamins A, B, C and nicotinic acid. Improves visual acuity and relieves eye fatigue.

Apricot (or Dried Apricot)

Of all the minerals contained in this fruit, I would like to highlight potassium. This mineral is part of the walls of blood vessels and improves blood circulation. Including the organs of vision.

Fatty fish

Fish is a source of fat-soluble vitamins, lipids and fatty acids.

These components prevent damage to the macula, and therefore prevent thinning of the cornea of the eye.

Spinach

Contains the pigment lutein. It is this carotenoid that prevents the lens from becoming cloudy.

Broccoli

A good source of zeaxanthin. They are also a pigment that protects the eye from cataracts, provides oxygen and protects against the toxic effects of free radicals.

Citrus

All citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C. This vitamin has a general strengthening effect and supports immunity. The body becomes less vulnerable to the effects of bacteria and viruses. Including eye viruses.

Legumes

A natural plant protein that contains a lot of zinc and vitamin A. The combination of these substances increases the production of melanin. And melanin itself protects the eye from ultraviolet rays.

Nuts

Almonds, apricot kernels, cashews, sunflower seeds are incomparable sources of vitamin E. This vitamin prevents retinal degradation.

Onions and garlic

Two similar products will help supply the body with sulfur. Sulfur is involved in cellular respiration, which will prevent corneal drying.

It is always important to remember that it is easier to prevent a disease than to treat it later. Proper care and nutrition will help to maintain the health of our eyes for a long time.
