Healthy Living Supports Your Vision
We all know that our nutrition can significantly affect our day-to-day lives.
Healthy eating and regular exercise are scientifically proven to boost your mood, improve concentration, and manage the risk of numerous health concerns.
But did you know that healthy living could also support your vision?
Integrated Vision Associates is here to help make sure your nutrition supports your eye health and preserves your sight. Find out how by requesting your appointment today!
How Can Nutrition Help?
Research has shown that what you eat can affect your eyes and brain. The key to managing their effects is to know what certain nutrients do and how they can address particular ocular concerns.
Our first step, as always, is to perform an eye exam and determine how nutrition can support specific issues, even if they are small. For example, foods with Vitamin E can promote tear function, while leafy greens can help protect your macula as you age.
The Foods & Supplements You Need to Know About
We can recommend a specific nutrition plan after performing an eye exam. We personalize your plan based on our findings, but we can always readjust our recommendations to better reflect your eye health as it changes throughout life.
Take a look at the various foods we may recommend and how they can support your eye health and vision.
Foods for Supporting Your Vision
Vitamin A, E, and C can help support your vision quality throughout your life. Some of these foods can include:
- Carrots
- Sweet potato
- Apricots
- Cantaloupe
Foods for Protecting Your Retina
Vitamin E and C can keep cells in your eyes healthy and protect your retina from certain diseases. These foods can include:
- Oranges
- Tangerines
- Grapefruit
- Avocados
- Almonds
Foods for Promoting Tear Function
Omega-3 fatty acids have long been studied to support healthy tear production and address dry eye symptoms. These nutrients are typically found in fish and can include:
- Salmon
- Fish
- Tuna
- Sardines
