Q:
Hello, please. I have been working overtime on the computer every day recently. After a long time, my eyes can't stand it.
What foods are good for your eyes?
There are too many foods to say about good eyes. First, I would like to recommend two eye-catching products that are both medicinal and food-friendly - wolfberry and chrysanthemum.
Whether from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine or modern medical research, wolfberry and chrysanthemum are the best among eye-catching foods.
wolfberry, commonly known as "clear eyes", is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" to nourish the kidney and produce essence, nourish the liver and improve eyesight.
It can make your eyes clear, which is not only an experience of the ancients, but also consistent with the results of modern scientific research.
It is generally recommended that it is more appropriate for healthy people to chew about 20 grams a day. If you really don’t like to chew dryly, it’s OK to drink it in water, but remember to eat it with wolfberry.
As for chrysanthemums, "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: it has the effects of dispersing wind and heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight.
Modern medical research has also confirmed that drinking chrysanthemum tea is beneficial to prevent epidemic conjunctivitis; it also has a good therapeutic effect on liver fire and dry eyes caused by excessive use of the eyes.
However, it should be noted that chrysanthemums are cold in nature, have weak and cold constitution, are usually afraid of cold, and are prone to cold hands and feet, should not drink chrysanthemum tea frequently.
In addition, if you want to keep your eyes well, you can also eat more dark vegetables and fruits.
Dark vegetables and fruits, such as corn, spinach, carrots, rapeseed, pumpkin, mango, papaya, etc., are rich in carotenoids .
After carotenoids are digested and absorbed by the human body, they can be converted into vitamin A in the human body, which is one of the indispensable raw materials for eye photosensitive imaging.
