The Key To Maintaining Good Eye Health

By Candace Hubbs

Maintaining optimum eye health can be achieved by ensuring the eyes get regular exercise and have access to a nutritious diet. As with the rest of the body, visiting an eye specialist physician should form a regular part of your annual schedule.

You will enjoy good nutrition for eyes if you observe a balanced diet. Today, the term 'balanced diet' has come to be represented by a fare of supermarket staples. If you do get lots of vegetable, fruit and fish products from the supermarket, you will have a varied diet but you may still not enjoy optimum health or excellent eyesight. This is because most supermarket food, although bright and fresh looking is not as power packed nutritionally as it may look.

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.

Eyes are mainly muscles and like other muscles in the body they need exercise to remain strong and healthy. In the past it was easy for eyes to get as much exercise as they needed. This was because eyes had much more varied work to do and had to work in different conditions. For example, long range viewing was much more necessary when our ancestors had to keep watch for enemies and prey. Also, as bright light of day faded into the depth of night, our eyes had to work accordingly. Today, with artificial lighting and new light sources from TV's and computer monitors, eyes are not expected to work in the same way they did before. Now there must be a concerted effort to include eye exercises daily.

Good eye health is enhanced by regular trips to the optician. You will undergo routine eye tests which exercise the eyes and also warn of any problems. Early treatment can mean the difference between the best possible visionary experience and a lifetime of blurry images. - 17274
