Healthy hacks for healthy eyes

In the ever-digital world we live in, our eyes are the instrument through which all information comes. Amidst constant screen use and the hustle and bustle of modern life, our loyal viewers are exposed to challenges that can impact your well-being. It is no secret that everything in our body is connected, and the stress or illness we experience can also manifest in the health of our eyes.

But don't worry! With valuable insights and 'healthy hacks' , we will go on a journey of discovery to ways to keep your eyes in top condition. These tips will help you with that.

Take screen breaks regularly

Modern times call for modern solutions, but our eyes sometimes need a digital detox. Give your eyes a break from the screen regularly. Go for the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Your eyes will thank you.

Do not wear sunglasses outside

Did you know that natural sunlight can not only brighten your mood, but is also essential for healthy eyes?

Not wearing sunglasses has significant benefits for your eye health. Natural sunlight contains vital components such as vitamin D, which are crucial for overall well-being, including eye health. In addition, exposure to natural light stimulates the production of melatonin, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle and indirectly supports eye health.

So, leave those sunglasses at home once in a while and embrace the sunlight. It's like a vitamin boost for your eyes!

Wear glasses with a blue light filter

We understand that screens have become an unavoidable part of our lives.

Eyes are particularly sensitive to blue light, as it can penetrate deeper into the eye than other wavelengths. Long-term exposure can lead to eye strain, dryness and sleep disturbances due to disruption of melatonin levels.

Additionally, blue light affects your circadian rhythm, which affects your natural sleep patterns. It can reduce the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, which can make it take longer to fall asleep and decrease the quality of sleep.

That's why we recommend a fashionable solution: glasses with a blue light filter. Stylish and effective to reduce harmful blue light.

Eye-friendly food & supplements

Vitamin A , an essential building block for eye health, is abundant in foods like seafood and colorful fruits and vegetables. Essential for retinal maintenance and maintaining sharp vision, this vitamin plays a crucial role in promoting optimal eye function.

In addition to diet, it is also essential to pay attention to the well-being of your gut microbiome for an overall healthy lifestyle. Also consider additional supplements to provide your eyes with extra support.

Substances you want in your supplements to support your eyes include:

beta-carotene
omega-3 fatty acids
zinc
vitamin E

lutein
