Eyes are super sensitive gifts that we should take care of.
Research
has proven that to protect your eyes, you need to eat healthy foods.
These are homemade foods and fresh fruits and vegetables.
These
foods should contain Vitamin A, C and E and you have to eat them on a
daily basis. You can not eat one day healthy food and the next day fast
food or frozen food. You need a specific amount from these vitamins
every day. And based on the same study; your daily foods should also be
rich in Zeaxanthin and Lutein; newly discovered vitamins that play a big
role in your eyes health.
The research has proven that minerals
are important in maintaining your eyesight. Selenium and zinc are very
important minerals for your eyes health. In the following line you will
learn the benefits of these vitamins and minerals.
1.Vitamin A slows down cataract maintain healthy eyes cells. You can find it in carrots and tomato.
2.Vitamin
C and E powers the optical nerve. You can find them in oranges, guava,
berries, grapefruit, apricot, tomato, green beans and brussel sprouts.
3.Lutein
and zeaxanthin protect your retina health and powers your eyes tissue.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are two vitamins that are found in green leafy
vegetables and in yellow peppers, mango, corn, lettuce and eggs.
4.Selenium
is a must for your body to absorb vitamin E. In short without this
mineral no matter how much vitamin E you take, your body is not going to
benefit from it.
5.Zinc is a mineral that protects your eyes from many diseases such as night blindness and is helps in absorbing vitamin A.
You can get these minerals by eating wheat flour, beans, and fish.
Each of these Vitamins works a different way to maintain your eyesight.
Minerals and vitamins supplements:
Some
people depend on the food alone to have the needed vitamins and
minerals, though it is good thing to do that, you can not get the needed
amount from all these minerals and vitamins at the same time, because
its hard to measure them. So I suggest that you eat fresh fruits and
vegetables and add some supplements from time to time. Healthy eating
habits play a role in preventing cataract and other eye diseases. Each
of these vitamins and minerals plays a unique role in maintaining
healthy eyes. So eat everything and protect your gift
