Since childhood, our mothers have told us to “eat carrots as they are good for your eyes!” Carrots are rich in carotenoids, lutein, lemon flavonoids, and other types of phytonutrients. These phytonutrients can help fight against free radicals in the body. They also reduce oxidative stress and relieve injury in the optic nerve. Lutein is also essential in protecting the eyes, as it can help fight against ultraviolet blue rays which are known to cause damage to eyes. In recent years, the smartphone has created a more convenient lifestyle for this modern era. However, a recent study has shown that this increased usage of smartphones has correlated to increased eye discomfort for many people. In addition to eye pain in patients, many have reported blurred sight, vision instability, dizziness, headaches, palpitations, nausea, vomiting, and many more conditions.
To prevent further eye damage, it is recommended that patients get:
– Adequate rest
– An intake of vitamins A, C, and E
– ß carotenoids, Anthocyanin, and other plant antioxidants
In addition, orange and yellow colored fruits and vegetables can also help improve health in general. Large quantities of lutein in the skin can help fight against sun damage and aging skin. One study has found that lemon flavonin can help with cardiovascular disease and also inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Lycopene, ß carotenoids, lutein, and other phytochemicals are fat-soluble ingredients, meaning they are typically insoluble in water.

Types of food containing these useful nutrients must be cooked with cooking oil in order for the body to absorb it. However, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and corn belong to the five-grain rhizome category. These foods mainly provide starch, cornstarch, and other essential nutrients. For people who need to control their blood sugar, they must be aware of the type of food they are eating. Food like rice must be especially considered because the body breaks down rice to sugar for absorption.

Start changing your life by making these small changes and additions to your diet. Do not underestimate the power of fruits and vegetables.
