Do you often feel dry, sore, and tired eyes when using a computer, reading, or watching TV? Prolonged use of the eyes can lead to eye fatigue, which is a major cause of tired eyes. The general symptoms of eye fatigue include blurry vision after a short period of time, difficulty writing or reading, dry and sore eyes, dizziness, and in severe cases, nausea and vomiting. In addition, eye fatigue can also lead to nearsightedness or early presbyopia in adults, as well as eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment.
To protect your eyes, prevent vision damage, and alleviate eye fatigue, besides having appropriate lighting, maintaining correct posture, taking breaks, and doing eye exercises, it is also very important to provide your eyes with the necessary nutrients.
Modern medical research has shown that vitamins are closely related to the occurrence of eye diseases and the quality of vision. Those who use their eyes excessively need more vitamins and minerals that their eyes require. It is important to supplement the necessary nutrients for the eyes in order to protect them, prevent vision damage, prevent eye diseases, and improve vision.
Therefore, those with eye fatigue should pay attention to a balanced diet and nutrition. They should eat more whole grains, miscellaneous grains, red and green vegetables, potatoes, beans, fruits, and other foods rich in vitamins, proteins, and fiber. Here are two dietary therapy recipes for eye fatigue that you can refer to.
1. Black Bean Walnut Milk Powder: Mix 1 tablespoon of black bean powder, 1 tablespoon of walnut paste, 1 packet of milk powder, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Take 500 grams of black beans, fry them until they are cooked, let them cool, and grind them into powder. Take 500 grams of walnuts, fry them until they are slightly browned, let them cool, and crush them into a paste. Take 1 tablespoon of each of the above two foods, add them to 1 cup of boiled milk, and then add 1 tablespoon of honey. Take it every morning or after breakfast, or have it with your morning snack. Black beans are rich in protein and vitamin B1, and have high nutritional value. They are also beneficial to the kidneys due to their black color. When combined with walnuts, they can enhance kidney function. Milk and honey, which contain a lot of vitamin B1, calcium, phosphorus, etc., can strengthen the muscles inside the eyes, enhance their regulating function, and improve the symptoms of eye fatigue.
2. Goji Berry and Mulberry Porridge: Take 5 grams of goji berries, 5 grams of mulberries, 5 grams of Chinese yam, 5 red dates, and 100 grams of glutinous rice. Cook the above ingredients into porridge and consume it. Goji berries and mulberries in this recipe can nourish the liver and kidneys, while Chinese yam and red dates can invigorate the spleen and stomach. If those with eye fatigue can have this porridge for breakfast and dinner every day for a long period of time, it can alleviate eye fatigue symptoms and enhance their overall health.
