Eye health, in the context of health optimization, involves supporting the optimal function and resilience of the eyes and visual system. It's about nourishing the intricate structures of the eye and promoting clear, comfortable vision throughout life. Certain dietary supplements, particularly those rich in specific pigments and antioxidants, can contribute to eye health by supporting the body's natural processes and promoting ocular well-being.
Mechanisms of Action:
- Supporting healthy blood flow to and from the eyes.
- Providing antioxidant support to ocular tissues.
- Supporting the body's natural ability to maintain the structural integrity of the eye.
- Contributing to the optimal function of the visual system.
Key Considerations for Eye Health:
- Antioxidant-Rich Berries: Goji berries, huckleberries (bilberries), mulberries, and schisandra berries are rich in pigments that have antioxidant properties and support ocular health.
- Nutrient Support: Vitamins A, C, and E, as well as zinc and selenium, play important roles in maintaining healthy vision.
- Healthy Fats: Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, are important components of the retina and support overall eye health.
- Lifestyle Factors: Protecting your eyes from excessive UV exposure, taking regular breaks from screen time, and getting enough restorative sleep all contribute to maintaining optimal eye health.
