News India Live, Digital Desk: Rush life, sitting in front of the screen for hours and increasing pollution… we often hold these reasons responsible for our deteriorating eyesight. We go to the doctor, get glasses increased, but do not try to reach the real root of the problem. Do you know that many times the reason for the weakness of our eyes is not outside, but inside our body, due to the lack of an essential nutrient?
yes, we are talking Vitamin A of. This is not a common vitamin, but it is no less than an elixir for our eyes. When there is deficiency of it in the body, its first and worst effect is on our ability to see.
What happens when Vitamin A becomes deficient in the body?
Vitamin A is most important to keep the retina of our eyes healthy. The retina is the part of our eye that senses light and sends signals to the brain, allowing us to see.
When there is a deficiency of Vitamin A, the first symptom that appears is Night BlindnessIn this, the person stops seeing properly in low light or darkness of night. He starts having difficulty driving a car, or climbing up and down stairs at night. If this initial symptom is not taken care of, then gradually this problem can become more serious. Dry eyes are also a sign of its deficiency. If the condition worsens, it can also cause blindness.
Instead of medicine, include these things in your plate
The good thing is that we can easily overcome this deficiency by improving our eating habits. This does not require any expensive supplements, but rather these things present in your kitchen:
- Carrot: We all have been hearing this since childhood. Carrots are rich in ‘beta-carotene’, which our body converts into Vitamin A. Eat it in salad or prepare it as a vegetable, it is beneficial in every way.
- Sweet Potato: It is called the powerhouse of Vitamin A. Sweet potatoes are sweet in taste and are very beneficial for your eyes.
- Green leafy vegetables: Spinach, fenugreek, bathua… these vegetables are not only an excellent source of iron but also of vitamin A.
- Yellow and Orange Fruits: Delicious and juicy fruits like mango, papaya, apricot are rich in Vitamin A. Make sure to make these a part of your diet.
- Milk, curd, cheese and eggs: These things also help in meeting the deficiency of Vitamin A. Especially the yellow part of the egg is considered very good for the eyes.
Don’t ignore your eyes. If you are also facing any problem in seeing in low light, then first of all pay attention to your diet. The path to the health of your eyes passes through your plate.
