Take care of your eyes - daily diet and supplements for your eyes

Causes of eyesight problems

Most eye disorders involve a gradual loss of proper visual acuity. Blurred vision, problems with perceiving details, increased tiredness while reading are only some of the symptoms indicating the beginning of vision disorders. There are many risk factors with a negative effect on the state of your eyesight:

• excessive light and radiation emissions from electronic devices
• adverse effects of free oxygen radicals and oxidative stress
• poorly balanced diet and vitamin deficiencies in the daily diet
• inadequate lighting and unsuitable workstation (e.g. poorly positioned monitor)
• smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, long-term use of certain medications
• progressive ageing of the body, old age and the resulting problems, e.g. problems with absorption and assimilation of certain nutrients

In a large number of cases, vision problems require consultation with an ophthalmologist and an optician who will decide whether or not you need to wear glasses. However, you can maintain your eyesight in good condition through a varied diet supported by high-quality food supplements.

Take care of your eyesight with diet and supplementation

Many products contained in the daily diet are a rich source of numerous active substances and ingredients. It is these that provide a valuable influence for the organ of vision to function properly. Their action is extremely varied - from supporting the regeneration processes, through cell protection and the fight against free oxygen radicals, to maintaining proper vision. In order to take care of your eyesight it is worth remembering about:

• vitamins A, C and E
• minerals e.g. zinc, selenium
• omega polyunsaturated fatty acids (e.g. DHA)
• plant extracts (e.g. citrus bioflavonoids, bilberry)
• antioxidants and flavonoids (e.g. lutein, zeaxanthin, anthocyanidins)

The above substances may also be supplied in the form of dietary supplements.
