Since childhood, we have been hearing that if you want to keep your eyes healthy, eat more carrots. You hear so much about carrots that sometimes you think that no other food is beneficial for your eyes. But today you will know that There are few foods that are more beneficial for eyes and vision than carrots.
But before that one question. Why do we eat good food? Your answer will be, so that we can be healthy. Every part of our body is good and healthy. And our eyes are a great blessing. Our body. And they are the main means of communication between the worlds. If they are not healthy and become sick, we can lose contact with others and if there is no contact, life can be difficult and lonely.
Today we will talk about three very important and common eye diseases which are closely related to our diet and all this information is proven by modern research. And those three diseases are blindness, namely blindness, myopia. That is, the weakness of distant vision and cataracts.
First we talk about blindness, not congenital blindness but age-related blindness, which can have three main causes.
One is aging and the other is diabetes, that is, sugar disease. And the third is cataract, that is, cataract. We know that after diabetes or to prevent it, a diet that is low in carbohydrates is better. So white rice, Stopping the consumption of white flour, sugar or sugar is very beneficial for our vision, it also reduces the risk of diabetes and secondly it helps to keep our vision good.
Now let's talk about myopia, that is, the weakness of far vision. We can call myopia the most common eye problem in the world, because twenty-seven percent of the world's population can have this condition, and it is especially common in children. It is very common and there is hardly a family that does not have a person affected by myopia in the house. In Pakistan, this problem is even more common and about thirty seven percent of the population is suffering from this problem.
The main cause of myopia is genes i.e. family history, however lifestyle i.e. lifestyle, increasing height and excess weight can also play an important role. People who spend a lot of time on digital devices like mobile or smart phones, tablets, laptops and don't do outdoor sports and other healthy activities like exercise etc. also increase the risk of myopia. Also, research has shown that with the right diet, you can control or at least slow down your nearsightedness.
According to research on myopia, children who are overweight and who eat foods high in carbohydrates, such as candies, junk food, pasta, and sugary foods, have an increased risk of vision loss and premature cataracts. There is more.
Now let's come to cataract, we all know that cataract is also the name of a very beautiful flower, whose smell is very good to the nose, but when the cataract lands in the eye instead of the nose, it can also cause death.
The problem of cataract is also very common in our society. And it is a very big cause of blindness in the world and especially in Pakistan, but half of the age-related blindness is due to cataract. According to a conservative estimate, at least half a million people in Pakistan are suffering from cataract blindness.
And this disease is more common in women in our country. At present, there is no medicine to prevent cataract, and no medicine has been discovered to treat cataract, and the only medical treatment is surgery. So the question arises, can we somehow prevent cataracts? What are the foods that we can definitely reduce the speed of cataracts?
According to a new research, the high consumption of double bread and cereals in children also causes poor vision in childhood. This is because the insulin levels in such children are very high and often rise, which is related to our blood. I also have high blood sugar levels, so it's best to consume whole grain bread and brown rice. There is also some evidence that people who are deficient in vitamin D may experience poor eyesight. can
That is, until today we used to hear that only vitamin A is important for eye health, but remember, vitamin D is equally important.
Also, a diet that is high in animal protein such as eggs, milk, butter, cheese, and especially any meat and fish is more beneficial than a diet that is high in carbohydrates.
To reduce or control the risk of nearsightedness, you should eat a diet rich in vitamin D and protein, and eat a diet low in carbohydrates, especially sugar.
And yes, even if you or your child is overweight, the risk of vision impairment increases. A diet that reduces weight can also help improve vision.
Modern research has revealed that three vitamins namely A, C and E play a very important role in reducing the risk of cataracts. May reduce the risk or severity of cataracts. In addition, zeaxanthinNi and lutein are two antioxidants that occur naturally in our eyes.
But since our body does not make them itself, we have to take them as food to make up for the deficiency.
Several studies have proven their important role in preventing age-related blindness and cataracts. Ze-xanthin is also called our body's sunglasses because it protects our eyes from blue light. Is.
It is the blue light that is present in mobile phones and the sun that causes serious damage to the eyes.
Z-xanthin and lutein are found in egg yolks, spinach, lettuce, corn, kale, collards, peas, red pepper, and broccoli, and basil seeds. If you want to take them as a supplement, the daily dose of zeaxanthin should be at least two milligrams and the daily dose of lutein should be at least ten milligrams.
Let's finally take a look at the list of things that are very useful for your iSite:
