1. Eat More Nutrients

To improve your eye health, include more glutathione and antioxidant-rich foods in your daily diet. Eat or introduce more greens to your diet like as spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and asparagus. You can also take glutathione-rich fruits like grapefruit, strawberries, and avocados. If you are not keen on eating them raw or as is, you can blend some of them together and have them as healthy smoothies or juices.

Also, eat food rich in lutein and zeaxanthin to improve your vision and eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin-rich food include corn, collard greens, eggs, and turnip greens. These have carotenoids, which are also found in the lens of your eyes, and may help prevent both macular degeneration and cataract formation.

2. Drink More Water

Proper hydration is essential for eye health and managing symptoms of existing health problems like cataracts. Toxins can accumulate and cause adverse changes in the body, including eye health problems if you don’t have enough water in the body. Moreover, the body needs a lot of water to detoxify and flush toxins out.

Try to drink half of your body weight in ounces to help remedy this. But if this is not possible, health authorities recommend drinking at least 8-ounce glasses of water every day. This equals to 2 liters or half a gallon of water daily. You can even use a mobile app to monitor your drinking habit.

3. Reduce Stress

Researchers have been studying the connection between stress and several eye problems such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and eye cataracts. Studies so far show stress impacts your eyes as it does your overall health. As such, it is important to balance the autonomic nervous system by reducing stress.

Self-care also plays a big role in managing stress. Because whether you like it or not, life happens, and you’ll have to deal with it. Self-care will not only help you avoid stress but also help you progress faster in whatever you need to do without compromising your health. Start self-care by:

• Checking your attitudes, excuses, and habits to identify where the stress is coming from;
• Practising the 4 A’s of managing stress, which are Avoid, Alter, Adapt, and Accept;
• Moving more! Exercise, dance, or any physical activity you enjoy
• Connecting with people who can understand and help you with stress.
