Do you ever do anything to maintain your eyes healthy? Most people don’t, and will only look for help when experiencing eyesight problems.
Healthy vision can be maintained and loss of vision can be reduced if you take proper preventive action. A healthy diet is essential as certain nutrients are vital and play important roles in protecting your eyes.
The retinas are composed in part from two elements found in many food sources: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and Lutein.
DHA is the most important omega-3 fatty acid and is a well known supplement in health food stores. Most people take fish oil as a source of omega-3 to control cholesterol, without knowing the same product promotes vision health.
Lutein is an antioxidant in the carotenoid family found in fruits and vegetables and is present in the central area of the retina called the macula.
The macula is responsible for central vision, used on a daily basis when we read or watch television. It’s also the most sensitive part of the retina and is more prone to deterioration as we age.
Several foods are good sources of lutein including romaine lettuce, leeks, egg yolks, kale, collard greens and peas.
Lutein supplements have been helping people to support vision health for many years. A few products offer a combination of lutein and other natural ingredients for eye health such as bilberry, blueberry, grape seed and vitamin A.
Don’t wait until you start losing your eyesight. Keep your eyes healthy and you may never need to wear glasses.
