The Key To Maintaining Good Eye Health
Ensuring good eye health is much the same as maintaining general health. It begins with good diet and exercise, and ends with regular checkups at the physician.
Your eyes will get all the nutrition they need if you ensure yourself a consistently balanced diet. Unfortunately, a balanced diet is not that easy to get today despite the array of produce lining supermarket walls. Much of this food is deficient in nutrients as a result of modern agricultural practices as well as preservation and packaging techniques. Your eyes may not have regular access to adequate supplies of essential nutrients even though you may think that your diet is varied and includes all the right things.
The conglomerates behind most foods we see adorning our supermarket shelves are very apt and clever at convincing us that their food is healthy. Products such as corn and wheat are processed until they are virtually devoid of nutritional value. Advertisers tell us they have been 'fortified with vitamins,' this supposedly rendering them healthy again. Good eye health depends a lot on omega 3 content in the diet but you cannot source this from frozen packaged fish products alone. You will need to supplement it with reliably produced fish oil available in bottles or capsules. Otherwise, you will need access to a steady flow of freshwater fish that you can eat raw or lightly cooked within hours of it being caught.
Modern living has meant that our eyes don't get as much exercise as they need. In the past much of our work for survival was done out of doors. This meant that we put our eyes to better use because we were forced to take in visual information from a variety of ranges and differences in light intensity. We would look far into the distance for prey or enemies in the bright light of day and also peer closely at handicrafts in much dimmer conditions. Today, our eyes are put to less varied work as most of what has to be done is within easy eye range. In addition, new light sources from computer screens and super bright fluorescents, have impaired eye health generally. Children should be encouraged to do outdoor sports such as baseball and golf to give them regular eye exercise.
Anyone serious about eye health will include regular visits to an optician as part of their annual schedule. An eye professional will be able to detect developing eye problems and with early treatment, arrest any further decline in sight. - 17273
