What foods should children with myopia eat?

Due to children's lack of self-awareness, they cannot properly control their time when playing games or reading. As a result, more and more children are suffering from myopia. Suffering from myopia in childhood requires wearing glasses, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to life. However, as long as reasonable dietary supplements are taken, the discomfort caused by myopia to children can be significantly alleviated and the myopia phenomenon can be effectively improved. So what kind of food do we need to eat specifically? Let’s find out together.

Vitamin E: It has antioxidant effects, can inhibit lipid peroxidation reactions in the lens, dilate peripheral blood vessels, improve blood circulation, and has a certain auxiliary effect in the treatment of certain eye diseases. However, children should not take vitamin E alone and should supplement it through diet. Soybean oil, peanut oil and bananas are all high in vitamin E and are the main sources of vitamin E in the diet.

Vitamin A: Foods containing vitamin A are also good for the eyes. When vitamin A is deficient, the eyes' ability to adapt to dark environments decreases, and in severe cases, it is easy to suffer from night blindness. Vitamin A can also prevent and treat dry eyes. The best sources of vitamin A are livers of various animals, cod liver oil, milk and eggs, plant foods such as carrots, amaranth, spinach, leeks, green peppers, sweet potatoes, and fruits such as oranges, apricots and persimmons.

Lycium barbarum: It has the effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight, and is beneficial to the eyes. Lycium barbarum is rich in carotene, vitamins A, B1, B2, C, calcium, iron, etc., and is a nutrient for the eyes.

The foods introduced above are very convenient to buy and make in our lives. In addition to paying attention to dietary issues, we should also pay attention to prevention issues. Let children use their eyes properly, get enough rest, and maintain a correct sitting posture, etc., which can effectively prevent children from developing myopia. In addition, parents are advised to take their children for relevant eye examinations every year so that any problems found can be treated promptly.
