We are not talking about miraculous promises, but a powerful strategy
Over the years, the view begins to “complain”: letters become smaller, faces lose definition and driving at night becomes an adventure. The so -called old age brings with it some unwanted “goodies”, such as presbyopia, cataracts, age -related macular degeneration (DMRI) and other problems that affect the vision of the elderly.
But calm down: before running to a supplement shelf, science is pointing to a more delicious – and natural way.
Recent research shows that a specific nutrient -rich diet can help – a lot – to protect the aging eyes.
We are not talking about miraculous promises, but a powerful strategy that acts with ophthalmological follow -up: using food as an ally of vision.
New discovery: foods that significantly improve the view of the elderly
The secret is in nutrients such as lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, two villains that affect retina and crystalline.
Translating: These compounds protect the eyes against the breakdown of the cataracts and the loss of the central vision caused by the DMRI.
But where to find this true “visual combo”? Here’s the champions menu:
- Dark green leaves (spinach, kale, broccoli): full of lutein and zeaxanthin.
- Fatty fish (salmon, sardines, tuna): rich in omega-3.
- Eggs, citrus fruits, walnuts, seeds and legumes: varied sources of vitamins and minerals essential for vision.
- Carrot and pumpkin: Old known of eye health, carry beta carotene, precursor of vitamin A.
Also, drinking enough water, maintaining one and limiting bad sugars and fats are simple measurements that make all the difference.
And of course: nothing replaces a good consultation with the ophthalmologist. Changes in vision should never be ignored. And if it is difficult to adapt food, a nutritionist can set up a personalized plan – because, after all, seeing well is a right at any age.
The tip is clear: to see the world more clearly, start with the next meal!
