Vitamins
And Minerals For The Eyes
|
Vision is one of our most precious senses. One of the things that we
can do daily to protect our eyes from harm is to be sure that each day
we consume the recommended daily intake levels of vitamins, minerals
and other nutrients. As with everything about our bodies, proper nutrition
plays an invaluable role in keeping our eyes functioning as well as
possible. There are certain nutrients that are known to be especially
associated with ocular health.
Among these are the anti-oxidant vitamins. The eye, especially the lens
and the retina, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of unchecked
free radicals, which are a byproduct of oxygen, cellular processes and
environmental contaminants. Anti-oxidant vitamins help to combat free
radicals. The primary anti-oxidant vitamins include Vitamin A, Vitamin
C, and Vitamin E. in addition to their important action against free
radicals, they promote healthy cells and tissues in the eye. Lutein
and Zeaxanthin are two more valuable anti-oxidants that recent research
has found to be especially effective in maintaining the health of the
eyes.
In addition to the vitamins that promote ocular health, there are several
minerals that have been determined to play a significant role in the
health of the eye. Among these are zinc, selenium, manganese, and copper.
Zinc is an important mineral that serves to regulate sight, smell and
taste and the concentration of zinc in the eye is higher than any other
part of the body. One important function of zinc in relation to the
eyes is its role in the regulation of the amount of Vitamin A, essential
to eye health, from the liver. People who have a deficiency in selenium
have been clinically shown to be more likely to suffer from cataracts.
Recent research into the influence of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients
upon the health of the eye has turned up a good deal new information.
This has led to the development of specialized dietary supplements designed
specifically to promote ocular health. The early results of clinical
trials concerning the halting and even reversal of macular degeneration
and other age-related eye diseases via specialized nutritional treatments
look very promising and research continues at a rapid pace.
Those seeking to benefit from dietary supplements designed to promote
ocular health and healing should familiarize themselves with the most
common vitamins and minerals in these supplements, doing the research
to find out what both the optimum and the safest levels of these nutrients
are. Consulting an eye care professional and a licensed nutritionist
can be very helpful in planning the best dietary supplement regimen
suited to individual dietary needs and health goals.
Making sure that you are achieving the recommended daily intake levels
of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients is one of the best things
you can do for all over health and well being. In terms of eye health,
paying close attention to you daily nutrition can make a real difference
in the quality of your vision and help to keep your eyes healthy and
functioning well for a good, long time. When properly taken, dietary
supplements can be a valuable part of any ocular health focused program.
