It would be much easier to look after our eyes nutritionally if we could count on a wholesome and balanced diet. Unfortunately, modern living has made it that no such guarantees are available. Today, food is plentiful and with glottalization, we have access to the widest range of food in human history. The problem is that modern agriculture and preservation techniques have meant that food has lost a lot of its potency although it looks very good on supermarket shelves. You cannot be sure of the best eye health if your food intake is solely reliant on mass marketed produce.
The problem is that supermarket food is often contained in very persuasive packaging. You may feel that you are getting lots of omega 3′s in your diet because you regularly purchase the most expensive brand of fish fingers that has ‘OMEGA 3′ printed boldly on the outer packaging. It is true that eye health is promoted by sufficient supplies of omega fatty acids but to get enough, your diet today must be more than balanced, it must be power packed. You should include good quality fish oil in bottled or capsule form. Otherwise, you could settle permanently by a lake where you have abundant supplies of freshwater fish that you can catch and enjoy lightly cooked, every day.
Modern living has meant that our eyes don’t get as much exercise as they need. In the past much of our work for survival was done out of doors. This meant that we put our eyes to better use because we were forced to take in visual information from a variety of ranges and differences in light intensity. We would look far into the distance for prey or enemies in the bright light of day and also peer closely at handicrafts in much dimmer conditions. Today, our eyes are put to less varied work as most of what has to be done is within easy eye range. In addition, new light sources from computer screens and super bright fluorescents, have impaired eye health generally. Children should be encouraged to do outdoor sports such as baseball and golf to give them regular eye exercise.
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.
