Smart Daily Habits for Better Eye Health

What are things that women can do preventively to protect their eye health? The big one we discussed was nutrients. So lutein, zeaxanthin, which are carotenoids rich foods. So anything colored. So that's kind of where a myth about carrots came from. But really we're looking at all the colored vegetables, colored fruits. The berry class is huge. Kale, red pepper, anything colored. That pigmentation has lutein and zeaxanthin in it, which is super important for eye health. It goes right to help reduce oxidative stress on your retina, which helps with diseases like macular degeneration. And that's why eating healthy is so important. And then, of course, the Omega 3s, adding that on for dry eyes. Then there's other nutrients like zinc, vitamins. Vitamin E is great, but the most important would be those three compounds. Sleep is huge. Sleep is great for our whole body, but to regulate our circadian rhythm and prevent eye strain, thyroid, that is really important. And then that goes hand in hand with being off our device for a couple of hours before bedtime, because that blue light coming in disrupts our circadian rhythm and causes more eye strain, tiredness, everything overall.
