Is it even something that could make your vision worse?

Our eyes are exposed to various external factors every day, which translates into their functioning. Although the eyes have their own natural cleansing system, or tears, unfortunately we can sometimes feel that they are irritated, have an unnatural red color, are hot, or are deprived of adequate moisture. Of course, you can always work quickly and help them work with eye drops, but it's also worthwhile to rely on adequate supplies of certain vitamins and minerals, which, when regularly consumed in the absence of diet, will enhance our eyesight.

Antioxidants and vitamins for the eyes

Vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein, manganese, copper, zinc, fatty acids (including omega-3) affect the quality of the eyes, especially specific vitamins A, C, and E. What characterizes them? They are excellent antioxidants, or so-called antioxidants. Blood antioxidants that cause aging of cells in the body. These processes are also caused by the activity of antibodies in the bloodstream, which helps to produce the effects of high blood pressure on the body's organs.

Mineral ingredients for the eyes

In addition to vitamins, some of the micronutrients that affect vision include zinc, copper, selenium, and potassium, which work together to support the beneficial effects of vitamins and support all aspects of the eyeball. Lack of these nutrients can have serious consequences.

The diet for the eyes recommended products

It is essential to incorporate nutrient-dense functional foods into your daily diet to safeguard optical health: dark leafy greens (spinach, kale rich in macular pigments lutein and zeaxanthin), fatty cold-water fish (wild salmon, mackerel delivering retinal DHA omega-3s), carrots and pumpkin (abundant in beta-carotene), wild bilberries (anthocyanins regenerating rhodopsin), and pasture-raised eggs supplying bioavailable zinc and vitamin E.
