It had to seem suspicious long ago! After all, how could carrots help eye health! “A little carrot does not harm anyone, it contains fiber and beta -carotene, but it must not overestimate,” laughs in the podcast by the head physician Lucie Valešová. And adds what he really benefits from his eyes.

And carrots good for eyes? Nobody believes it today. There are plenty of what the eyes really benefit. Including things you normally do every day. “Maybe it sounds stupid, but the best for the eyes is a healthy lifestyle,” Lucie Valešová, Surchanted and Head of the Neovize Eye Clinic confirms in the podcast. Which is something to start right away.
Perfect interplay
The eyes do not work in the body in any way and if it may not be obvious at first glance, the health of the whole body is important for them. “Once you are in shape and body, eyes are relaxed, work better, see, focus, better create tear movies. Even if you have an eye defect,” He lists the head physician.
That is why, for example, regular physical activity, movement and exercises that are part of a healthy lifestyle are beneficial. The trained body is better handling any load, which is true, perhaps a little surprisingly, even for the eyes.
Important vitamins?
But even with the carrots it is not complete nonsense. The problem is that a healthy diet has little influence on the eyes. “Of course there are substances that support eye health but cannot be attached to them Lucie Valešová specifies. What? Vitamin C, because, even vitamin A, which helps to create a dye for light and other cells in the retina. “Likewise, omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants that together improve retinal metabolism are beneficial,” adds an expert.
Head cool
And while a healthy diet benefits the whole body, a well -set head on the eyes certainly affects. Just as she needs quality rest, ie enough sleep, but also relaxation during the day. Simply put – the better you sleep, the better you will see the next day. And that there is a need for a calm and balanced mind no longer need to be added. So instead of carrot go.
