How To Keep Your Eyes Healthy And Prevent Eye Problems

Have you ever noticed that more and more people are walking down the street wearing glasses these days? Not to make a fashion statement and not because glasses have suddenly become much better. No, it’s because these people may not have taken good care of their eyes.  Not everyone has healthy eyes.

In today’s article, we invite you to find out how to have healthy eyes. This is not only to avoid having to wear corrective lenses in the future, but also to avoid other problems.

Healthy eyes are important

Of course you can decide for yourself what you do with your body and what habits you have. However, if there is one thing you should pay attention to, it is the health of your eyes and the dangers and risks that can damage your eyes.

This involves more than just drinking carrot juice for the vitamin A content. Do you remember when your grandpa or grandma told you how healthy carrots are for the eyes? They may also have jokingly asked you if you’ve ever seen a rabbit wearing glasses.

In order to have healthy eyes, it is indeed important to get enough vitamin A. This vitamin prevents infections and counteracts them at the same time. It also reduces pressure on the optic nerves.

Today, the optic nerves are increasingly burdened by the use of computers, mobile phones, tablets and televisions.

In addition to carrots and vitamin A, there is a long list of other natural remedies that can help improve eyes and vision. Vision is perhaps the most important sense you have.

Tips to protect your eye health

First of all, you should know that your eyes are part of your nervous system. To keep your eyes healthy, you should therefore try to minimize stress and get enough rest. Some tips to help you with this are:

• Eat foods rich in minerals, such as fruits, seaweed, and vegetables.
• Make sure your eyes are getting enough oxygen by breathing consciously, slowly, and deeply.
• Try taking up a relaxing activity to calm your nervous system from within, such as yoga or tai chi.

What are the symptoms of eye problems?

Poor eyesight and having to wear glasses or contact lenses are not the only consequences that can be caused by imbalances in the body from bad habits or lack of proper eye care. This list also includes:

Increased mucus production

We’re talking about the mucus that collects in the corners of your eyes while you sleep. If you notice that your body is producing more mucus than normal during the night or day, there may be too many toxins in your body. Your body tries to eliminate these in every possible way.

The solution to this is to detox or purify your entire body. You better avoid this:

• Dairy
• fried food
• Meat
• sugar and salt

In addition, you will need to drink a lot more water and eat fresh food to ensure healthy eyes.

Itchy eyes

Itchy eyes can be caused by insufficient sleep. However, the itching can also be caused by poor circulation in the eye area or if your diet is generally unbalanced.

One technique that always works is to sit in a comfortable position and look up without moving your head. Just turn your eyes toward the ceiling.

Open and close your eyes a few times, all the while looking at the ceiling. This will help promote circulation in your eye tissue. However, don’t forget to include fresh vegetables and water in your diet as well.

swollen eyelids

We’re not talking about the way your eyes get puffy after you cry (whether it’s from cutting an onion, watching a sad movie, or as an emotional response to something else).

If your eyelids suddenly swell up unexpectedly, it could be because the kidneys aren’t working properly or because the kidneys are working too hard.

It could also simply be because you may be putting on your makeup too hard or not cleaning your eyes well enough at night.

What can you do to help improve your problems?

• Ensuring enough exercise
• Drink pineapple or orange juice in the morning
• Ensure a better night’s sleep
• Use milder makeup products

styes

Although some people think that styes are caused by a virus, they are the result of an accumulation of toxins in the body from a poor diet, overeating or certain vitamin deficiency.

Try to avoid eating salty, sweet, fried and fatty foods. A home remedy that often works is to heat an object made of gold, such as a ring, and hold it against the stye a few times.

Red and watery eyes

Your eyes may become red and watery if:

• you have exhausted yourself by working on the computer for hours on end
• when you have been exposed to pollution or chemicals,
• you left your lenses in too long
• have slept too little

However, sometimes this also happens for no apparent reason.

Try to give your eyes a little more rest. For example, every hour that you work behind the computer, you close them for two minutes. Only wear contact lenses at the recommended times, drink more water and try not to spend too much time in environments with low air quality.

dull eyes

Some people worry because they think their eyes look ‘lifeless’. This symptom can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Lack of nutrients
• Anemia
• A disease
• Fatigue
• sadness
• stress

One of the best ways to treat dull eyes is to relax yourself. For example, you can go for a walk. Or maybe you can even make an appointment with a psychologist. This is someone who can tell you how best to tackle your underlying problem.

If you want healthy eyes, don’t forget to eat healthier, get enough rest at night and don’t push yourself to the limit.
