The brain and eyes make up less than 2% of the total body weight, yet use 25% of the body’s nutritional intake. It is well-researched that a good diet and supplementation can help preserve general health, visual health and even help reverse eye disease – eat right for your sight!

For healthy eyes, eat plenty of high quality, preferably organic, fresh, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. Eat a rainbow of colours: yellow, orange, red and green vegetables and fruit like berries and green leafy vegetables. Omega-3 fat-rich foods like oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel can help, as well as nuts, seeds, avocados and eggs.

Reduce processed and packaged foods and most importantly, limit refined carbohydrates- white products like flour, sugar & rice. Also eliminate margarine, vegetable oils, products with trans-fats or hydrogenated fats and artificial flavours and colours which can adversely affect our general and eye health. Olive oil and coconut oil are best for cooking.

Stay hydrated: drink around 8 glasses of filtered water or spring water through the day. Vitamin and mineral supplements may be used when the diet does not include enough fresh fruit and vegetables, if you have digestive issues or have eye disease. We offer consultations for a personalised program (for eye conditions like cataracts, macular disease, glaucoma and dry eyes and refractive errors like myopia, glaucoma, astigmatism, presbyopia and lazy eye) and testing for your nutritional status (hair mineral analysis), general health, heavy metals and vitamin D levels – see our online store to book an appointment, or call us on 040241021 or email us at naturaleyecare@outlook.com.
