However, nowadays people's lives cannot do without electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers. Many people need to use their eyes for long periods of time every day, which leads to their eyes being severely overloaded with work every day. Dry, astringent, and fatigued eyes are also coming to their homes.
What should I do? Why don't you eat more yellow food——
Eyes love three yellow foods the most, easily drive away dry and astringent eyes!
Why recommend yellow food?
This is not to say that other colored foods are not good, but that among many foods that are good for the eyes, yellow foods perform very well~
Orange yellow food includes yellow grains such as corn and millet, as well as orange yellow fruits and vegetables such as oranges, mangoes, pumpkins, and goji berries.
They are rich in carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which can absorb harmful ultraviolet and short wave light from light, while clearing excess free radicals and helping the eyes delay aging.
That is to say, eating more yellow food can nourish and protect the eyes, help alleviate eye fatigue. Below are several recommended foods——
carrot
Carrots have a crispy texture and a delicious taste, earning them the nickname of "little ginseng".
It is rich in beta carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, anthocyanins, calcium, iron, etc. It is a nutritious home vegetable.
Carrots not only have a high content of vitamin A, but also contain carotenoids that can be digested and absorbed by the human body, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body. This is one of the indispensable raw materials for eye photosensitive imaging.
So, if you want to have good eyesight, you might as well eat more carrots first.
Recommended recipe: Steamed carrot shreds with flour
Ingredients: Carrots, oil, flour, garlic, and an appropriate amount of salt.
Method: Scrape the carrots into shreds, add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil and stir well, then add 2 tablespoons of flour and stir well. Steam in the steamer for 7 minutes, add salt and garlic to season.
yolk
Many people may not have thought that egg yolk is a good treasure for protecting the eyes.
Originally, the imaging site of the human eye was the retina, which has a "macula" where the yellow nutrients come from lutein and zeaxanthin.
Lutein and zeaxanthin have strong antioxidant effects, which can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the eyes, delay eye aging, and prevent eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. And the yolk of eggs is a high-quality source of lutein and zeaxanthin.
More than one-third of the fat soluble yellow substances in egg yolks come from these two components and are easily absorbed by the human body.
Therefore, for normal eggs, the yellower the egg yolk, the more beneficial it is for eye health.
corn
Corn not only contains abundant dietary fiber, but also a large amount of vitamin B2.
Vitamin B2 can promote cell regeneration and is related to the retina's sensitivity to light. It has a good effect on corneal congestion, blurred vision, fatigue, etc.
Anemia causes insufficient liver blood, which directly affects vision. Vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 are involved in the synthesis of red blood cells, preventing and treating iron deficiency anemia.
Therefore, if it is for the sake of good eyesight, it is advisable to eat more corn in daily life.
Tip: Eating corn without gnawing on this place wastes all the nutrients!
Have you ever noticed many small, white and tender particles left on the stick while gnawing corn?
It is the embryo of corn, which is the offspring of corn.
Corn supplies most of its nutrients to this offspring, such as unsaturated fats, vitamin E, carotenoids, lecithin, antioxidant glutathione, and so on.
And the other parts of corn kernels are mainly starch. So, don't foolishly throw away the embryo next time~
Besides eating more eye protection food, the eyes also like you to do these two small things——
Do two things frequently to relieve eye fatigue
1. Move it
During rest, you can close your eyes and massage the acupoints around your eyes, such as Jingming, Sibai, Taiyang, Zanzhu, Yuyao, etc., to relax your eye muscles and relieve eye fatigue.
It is advisable to feel bloating, pain, comfort, and relieve fatigue when pressed each time
Close your eyes slightly, relax your whole body, first rotate your eyes clockwise 36 times, and then counterclockwise 36 times. If it is inconvenient to close your eyes and turn them around, you can also open your eyes and turn them around.
2. Apply a compress
Hot compress is the use of warm water vapor to act on the local area of the eyelids, relax the skin surface and muscle layer, accelerate blood circulation, relax tense muscles in the eyes, thereby reducing eye fatigue and improving blood supply around the eyes.
Soak a clean towel in warm water (around 40 degrees Celsius) and apply it to the eyes for 10 minutes. During this process, it is necessary to alternate the use of hot towels and reheat them when they are cold, rather than applying them for 10 minutes at a time.
In addition, during rest time, after washing your hands, you can rub them to get warm and cover the area around your eyes with your palms. Repeat this process for 5-10 minutes to help reduce eye fatigue, but do not compress your eyes during the process.
Finally, it is important to remind everyone that in order to reduce eye fatigue, the usage time of electronic devices should also be reduced. Do not watch TV dramas, play games, etc. for long periods of time outside of work and study hours.
For those who use their eyes for a long time, it is best to take a break every 20 minutes, look away from the screen, stand up and gaze into the distance or green plants, and relax their eyes. This can help regulate eye sensitivity.
