How to help children have good eyesight

With the arrival of the holidays, children can finally use these two months to relax and have fun without having to deal with their heavy schoolwork. Many children watch a lot of TV. Moreover, with the development of technology, every household is equipped with computers and smart phones. Some children have poor self-control and tend to play games excessively. How to protect children's eyesight has become a big problem. So how can we help children have good eyesight?

On the one hand, in order to protect children's eyesight, our parents should strictly limit the time their children play with these electronic products every day, and require their children to remember to maintain the correct sitting posture when playing electronic products. In addition, in terms of diet therapy and eye protection, they should also pay attention to letting children eat more eye-protecting foods, such as those rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene.

There are some tips for choosing eye-protecting foods

First, animal liver is a naturally rich source of vitamin A. For example, some animal livers, eggs, cream and cod liver oil, especially animal livers, are extremely rich in vitamin A. The chemical name of vitamin A is retinol, also known as the anti-dry eye vitamin. If our body lacks vitamin A, it will affect the ability to adapt to the dark. If children lack vitamin A, they will suffer from symptoms of diseases such as developmental defects, dry eyes, and night blindness.

Secondly, foods rich in beta-carotene are mainly yellow fruits and green leafy vegetables. After taking in beta-carotene, our human body will convert it into vitamin A as needed, thus avoiding poisoning caused by excessive intake of vitamin A.

Now you know how to protect your child and give him or her good eyesight. It is important to supplement children with adequate vitamins. Children often don't like to eat nutritious vegetables, so parents may try cooking vegetables with other meat side dishes to increase their children's appetite. Thank you for reading my article.
