We love MacuShield Capsules, formulated with essential ingredients for eye health, and these are easy supplements to take on a daily basis. We also recommend Macu-save, an excellent option that can help protect your eyes against the damage caused by blue light and oxidative stress.
Eye health is all about looking after your body and ensuring you get the vitamins and minerals you need for optimum performance. Eating a healthy diet that includes omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc and vitamins C and E is an important way to protect your vision and prevent problems such as cataracts developing as you age. A diet to boost your eye health will include leafy green vegetables, oily fish, good protein sources and citrus fruits.
Other important ways to protect your eyes include preventing sun damage by wearing sunglasses and giving up smoking. Exposure to UV rays and smoking are both factors that increase the likelihood of developing cataracts and macular degeneration so it’s a good idea to invest in a good pair of sunglasses and find a solution that helps you to stop smoking for good.
The screens many of us use on a daily basis can be problematic for eye health, increasing the risk of vision problems and related headaches. Make sure you take regular screen breaks, wear your glasses or contact lenses if you need them and see an optician on a regular basis to keep your prescription up to date. Of course, it’s also important to protect your eyes if you are playing contact sports or working in a hazardous environment, and wearing suitable eye protection or goggles will help you to do this.
