Vitamins for the eyes



Vitamins for the eyesAs the old Chinese proverb: "If the father of the disease is unknown, her mother - always food."This expression can be attributed entirely to all organs of the body, but to my eyes (actually, free) - esp. After all, in fact, if you have nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and other diseases of view, and it is, however, is getting worse, and watery eyes get tired, it makes sense to think about why it happens.
Traditional medicine has advanced far in the treatment of eye diseases, but somehow it happened that the eye disease is not associated with the state of the whole organism. Indeed, few of those who appealed to the ophthalmologist with complaints of blurred vision, happen to hear a recommendation to change your diet. However, this is rational.When poor nutrition eye function deteriorate as worsening overall condition of the body. For example, the eye muscles are weakened, as the blood brings fewer nutrients. But an unbalanced or inadequate provision of necessary substances retina can lead to an inability to generate a strong nerve impulses, which can distort the image generated by the brain. Therefore, we must ensure that the products that we choose for its table, were rich in nutrients, trace elements and vitamins.
The role of vitamins in metabolism and life is enormous. The word "vitamin" comes from the Latin word «vita», greenswhich means "life." Some vitamins are synthesized in the body, but most of them come into our body with food. I can not say that the vitamins are divided on the effects - some beneficial to the skin, the other for blood, etc. No effect of vitamin complex. But there are substances which are particularly important for the normal functioning of such a thin and fragile body, the human eye.
These are vitamins A, E, C, B vitamins and some minerals. Let us consider the effect of each of them.

Vitamin A (retinol). This vitamin helps the processes of reproduction and cell growth, enhances immunity. Vitamin A - one of the most important vitamins for vision. He spent every light excitation for the synthesis of specific visual material, is responsible for night vision. With a bright flash of light is the substance decomposes. To completely restore vision after blinding bright light, a person needs about 30 minutes. Vitamin A deficiency is fraught with violations of color perception and vision impairment in the dark. In addition, it leads to drying of cells of the cornea, conjunctiva, and drying, as a consequence, the emergence of briarrisk of conjunctivitis. Vitamin A is found in red carrots, herbs and roots in the parsley, dill, dog rose, mountain ash, spinach, prunes, pumpkin, as well as in the liver, butter, sour cream, cottage cheese, oily fish and milk. Keep in mind that Vitamin A - fat soluble, and therefore can accumulate in the liver.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This vitamin performs many functions. This regulation of carbohydrate metabolism and redox reactions, and synthesis of collagen, and participate in tissue regeneration, and normalization of capillary permeability, and control blood clotting. The role of antioxidant vitamin C reduces the likelihood of cataracts and slows the development of an existing illness. Vitamin C helps to regulate intraocular pressure by reducing the risk of glaucoma. In collaboration with carotenoids vitamin C helps to prevent disease of the retina caused by exposure to light and free radicals. Vitamin C prevents the oxidation of the visual pigments, interferes with their loss and adjusts the recovery. It also strengthens the walls of capillaries, improves the retinal vessels, preventing bleeding in the retina or vitreous. Vitamin C is responsible for maintaining the mobility of the eye muscles, the preservation of the optic nerve, the improvement of the perception and transmission of visual signals to maintain the necessary level of collagen in the vitreous body and lens.With vitamin C deficiency eyes tire quickly, decreasing the tone of eye muscles, decreased visual activity. And such a bad habit like smoking, completely destroying stores of vitamin C, which eventually leads to degeneration of the retina. This vitamin in the liverhuman body is not synthesized, so you should make sure that your diet is always attended by foods rich in vitamin C. This fruit, vegetables and herbs. Rosehip - the champion of the content of ascorbic acid. A lot of vitamin C in sea buckthorn, black currant, sweet peppers, citrus fruits, as well as dill, parsley, spinach, apples, cabbage, strawberries.

Vitamin E (tocopherol). This powerful antioxidant helps to prevent detachment of the retina, cataracts, supports eyesight due to diabetes. He is involved in protein metabolism, normalizes blood clotting and improves circulation, normalizes muscle activity. Vitamin E - a fat-soluble vitamin that is contained mainly in plant foods. Most are rich in their unrefined vegetable oils: cottonseed, soybean, sunflower, peanut, sea buckthorn, corn. Especially a lot of vitamin E in cereal and legume sprouts, in cabbage, tomatoes, lettuce, peas, spinach, dog rose, parsley.In addition, vitamin E is present in meat, eggs, liver, milk.
B vitamins can not be considered separately, as they always exist together. Their main task - taking part in tissue respiration and energy production. These vitamins have a positive impact on the supply of organs and tissues of nerves, and because the eye is a Nutskind of "ball of nerves", the lack of effect of these vitamins, especially at the sight. B vitamins reduce the harmful effects of some amino acids on the vessels of the eyes, improve blood circulation and affect the body, similar effects of antioxidants. The most famous of this family of vitamins - are vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine). At deficiency of this vitamin is deteriorating transmission of nerve impulses in any organ, including the eyes. This can lead to impaired vision and damage to nerve cells, and this, in turn, runs the risk of developing glaucoma. Vitamin B1 is important for regulation of intraocular pressure. Vitamin B1 is contained in the flour, meal, bran, cereals, nuts, brewer's yeast, liver.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin). This vitamin is involved in carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism (in particular, in the cornea and lens). It turns carbohydrates into energy needed eye muscles, and promotes the exchange of oxygen, playing an important role in maintaining normal vision. Vitamin B2 is part of the visual purple, which protects the eyes from ultraviolet radiation. With his lack of reduced visual acuity at dusk and at night. You may see a burning sensation in the eyes,mushroomsphotophobia, tearing, tears of small veins.Vitamin B2 is fraught with the development of cataracts, corneal inflammatory diseases, diseases of the retina and optic nerve. Vitamin B2 is present in almost all products.
Vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid, niacin, vitamin PP).Vitamin B3 is involved in redox processes in the body. It regulates the higher nervous activity, dilates blood vessels, lowers blood cholesterol levels, which improves blood flow to the optic nerve. The main sources of this vitamin - meat, mushrooms and beans. They vitamin B3 in digestible form. Much of this vitamin, and in cereals, but the one he absorbed worse.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid). Vitamin B5 is important for normal metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B5 is necessary for normal absorption and metabolism of vitamin B9. The first sign of a lack of vitamin B5 - the weakening of vision and memory. The very name of this vitamin (the word «panthos» means "everywhere") speaks of its wide distribution in nature.
yolkVitamin B6 (pyridoxine). This vitamin is involved in cellular metabolism. Like other B vitamins, pyridoxine affects the nervous system. It is also called a natural tranquilizer. With a lack of vitamin B6 eyes, very tense and tire quickly. Because of this, it may be an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes (conjunctivitis) and inflammation of the optic nerve. And all the familiar eye twitching can be a symptom of a lack of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 found in cabbage, cereals, egg yolk, yeast, milk, all kinds of fish.
Vitamin B9 (folic acid). Vitamin B9 plays an important role in the production of red blood cells, in the construction of new cells, is involved in redox processes. Lack of vitamins B9 and C leads to an increase in homocysteine liver​​(sulfur-containing amino acid, which destroys the walls of blood vessels), and this is one of the causes of visual impairment. Vitamin B9 found in root crops, lettuce, cabbage, asparagus, spinach, apples, bananas.
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). It is also called the "red vitamin", because he has been actively involved in the formation of red blood cells.Vitamin B12 is involved in the creation of cellular material and has a positive effect on the central nervous system - that is, supports nerve tissue, thereby strengthening the optic nerve. With a lack of vitamin B12 interferes with the normal blood supply to the eyeball, eyes look dull at the same time, prematurely aged. Vitamin B12 is found only in foods of animal origin: egg yolks, milk and dairy products, meat, liver, fish.
Of course, one can argue that eye health can be achieved by a special diet. When the diet is a lack of vitamin A, vision deteriorates. But this does not mean that you should eat carrots pounds or run to the drugstore for vitamin complex "eye." Our goal - to pick up for a reasonable and well-balanced diet containing a large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables and low-rich foods, "fast" carbohydrates (sweets, pastries, refined products).
