By eliminating harmful lifestyle choices and habits that have a direct effect on our eyes’ health, you can Protect Your Eyesight.
Quit Smoking and Help Your Vision
Smoking has several damaging effects on your vision, all caused by the
Free Radicals
smoking produces.
Heavy Alcohol Consumption Damages Your Vision
Alcohol in moderation can help your sight, but is very damaging when used to excess.
A High-Fat Diet Harms Your Sight
The eyes have a very great need for oxygen and quality nutrients.
A high-fat diet can restrict blood flow to the eyes (and all other parts of the body), and is directly related to incidence of Macular Degeneration.
A High Sugar Diet Effects Your Eyesight
The eyes are rich in blood vessels.
Some have weak junctions and are prone to leaking blood, which can lead to the wet form of
Macular Degeneration.
High sugar levels can damage blood vessels, which also increases the chance of developing
Cataracts
or Glaucoma.
Chronic Stress Affects Your Eyesight
Stress elevates levels of adrenaline, which can raise eye pressure, putting you at greater risk of developing
Glaucoma.
Eyestrain Caused By Computers
The human eye is NOT meant to spend hours focusing at objects close to it.
It is naturally in a relaxed state when looking at something at further distances, approximately 7 feet and beyond.
