Eye Health Care Tips :-
“Finish your carrots, they’re good for eyes”
The eye is the most vital and delicate organ of our body.Without eyes all the materials gains and achievement are useless and life becomes burdensome and meaningless.
Prevention is always better than cure and eye care is superior to eye cure.
Vitamins are extremely important to maintain good vision.
Vitamins minerals and many food items play major role in maintaining good vision. There seems to be a direct link between nutrition and healthy vision.
Plenty of vitamin A can reduce chances of cataracts and night blindness. Similarly Vitamin E reduces the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
Vitamin C is needed to reduce the pressure in glaucoma, to resists the onset of cataracts.
Wearing sunglasses is one of the best way of protecting your eyes from UV(ultraviolet rays) rays that can damage the eyes.
There are seven 7 Vitamins,Minerals and Herbal Supplement.
Chromium :-
Low levels of chromium are a major risk factor for increased intraocular pressure.
Chromium plays a large role in muscle contraction which is why this occurs when deficiencies are present.
Proper amounts of chromium in your diet, focusing may be easier and less stressful to your eyes.
The body does not make chromium naturally, so it must be obtained through your diet.
The best sources of chromium are beef, liver, eggs, chicken, oysters, wheat germ, green peppers, apples, bananas, and spinach.
Vitamin C :-
Vitamin C's importance as an antioxidant cannot be overstated.
Vitamin C has been linked to the prevention of cataracts.
Taking 300 to 600 mg supplemental Vitamin C reduced cataract risk by 70 percent - the delay of macular degeneration, and eye pressure reduction in glaucoma patients.
It's an interesting fact that, while most animals produce their own vitamin C, we humans do not have that ability.
In addition, we can't store this vitamin in our bodies for very long, so it needs to be constantly replenished to obtain its benefits.
Most of us think of orange juice as the quintessential source of vitamin C, but many vegetables are actually even richer sources: chili peppers, sweet peppers, kale, parsley, collard, and turnip greens are full of vitamin C, as are broccoli, Brussels sprouts, watercress, cauliflower, cabbage, and strawberries.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin :-
Lutein, found in our retinas, is essential for healthy vision.
Lutein and a related dietary carotenoid, zeaxanthin, accumulate within the retina and imbue a yellow pigment that helps protect the eye.
It lowers the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration (low lutein intake is implicated as a risk factor in age-related macular degeneration), and may also help to prevent or slow down atherosclerosis.
Lutein is found in the red, orange, and yellow pigments of fruits and vegetables; for example, tomatoes, carrots, and squash. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach also contain high amounts of lutein.
Lutein along with zeaxanthin are two naturally occurring carotenoids present in the macular segment of the retina.
The concentration of these two is so high in the macula (the retinal region responsible for fine visual activities), that the carotenoids are visible as a dark yellow spot, called the macular pigment, in normal, healthy retinas. They act like sunglass filters to protect the eye.
People with higher lutein/zeaxanthin levels have reduced risk for advanced stages of macular degeneration.
Blue-eyed individuals need more lutein and zeaxanthin because they have less of these protective pigments in their retinas.
Again, dark, leafy greens are the dietary winner here, along with corn, nectarines, oranges, papaya and squash.
Zinc:-
Our eyes actually contain the greatest concentration of zinc in our body. Just like you need a bulb to convert electricity into light, your body needs zinc to convert beta-carotene into vitamin A.
Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food, but red meat and poultry provide the majority of zinc in the American diet.
Selenium :-
Selenium is a trace mineral that our bodies need to boost immunity and fight off infections. It can also help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration by acting as an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that can damage the eye's lens and macula; studies have identified low selenium levels in cataract sufferers.
Selenium also helps your body to absorb vitamin E.
Fish, shellfish, red meat, grains, eggs, chicken, liver, and garlic are all good sources of selenium, as well as brewer's yeast and wheat germ.
Glutathione :-
Glutathione is an amino acid that protects the tissues surrounding the lens of the eyes.
It also has potentially widespread health benefits because it can be found in all types of cells, including the cells of the immune system, whose job is to fight disease."
Numerous studies link glutathione with the prevention of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disease, and diabetic blindness. Foods that increase glutathione levels include sulfur-rich foods such as garlic, eggs, asparagus, and onions, and glutathione-rich foods such as watermelon, asparagus, and grapefruits.
Ginkgo Biloba :-
The ginkgo is the oldest living tree species, growing on earth for 150-200 million years. No surprise, then, that it's one of the most well-researched herbs in the world.
Ginkgo, a powerful antioxidant increases blood flow to the retina and can slow retinal deterioration which results in an increase of visual acuity.
Retinal damage has a number of potential causes, including diabetes and macular degeneration.
Gingko may help preserve vision in those with macular degeneration.
Now,Here is Some Common Points(eye health care tips),really helpful to prevent dark are around eyes.
(1) Get Enough Sleep :-
It can't be anymore obvious than this. But if you really want to banish tired-looking eyes, your best bet is to get enough sleep.
