What should six-year-old children pay attention to in their diet when their vision is declining?

As our living standards continue to improve, there are more and more types of household appliances in our homes. Often, many parents cannot do without some electrical appliances during the growth of their children. In particular, many children start to use televisions, computers and other commonly used household appliances when they are very young. This can easily lead to decreased vision in children. Parents need to pay special attention to this. First of all, they need to make adjustments in their diet. Let's take a look at what six-year-old children need to pay attention to in their diet when their eyesight decreases.

What should six-year-old children pay attention to in their diet when their vision is declining?

To prevent vision loss, we should first know which nutrients contribute to vision development. It is well known that when VA is deficient, the eyes' ability to adapt to dark environments decreases, and in severe cases, people are prone to night blindness. VA can also prevent and treat dry eye disease. Foods rich in VA include animal liver, cod liver oil, milk and eggs, plant foods such as carrots, amaranth, spinach, leeks, green peppers, red sweet potatoes, and fruits such as oranges, apricots, persimmons, etc.

Secondly, Vitamin B1: VB1 is one of the nutritional sources of the optic nerve. When BV1 is insufficient, the eyes are prone to fatigue; when VB2 is insufficient, it is easy to cause keratitis. Foods rich in B vitamins include sesame, soybeans, fresh milk, malt and so on.

Also, don't let your children eat too much sweets: excessive sweets will consume a large amount of VB1 in the body, causing children's eyesight to deteriorate and even cause poor visual development. Excess sugar can also lead to a decrease in chromium stores in the body. Lack of chromium can cause changes in blood osmotic pressure, which in turn can lead to changes in the osmotic pressure of the eye lens and aqueous humor. When the osmotic pressure of the aqueous humor is lower than the osmotic pressure of the lens, the aqueous humor will pass through the lens capsule into the lens, causing the lens to become convex, and the refractive power of the eye will increase, resulting in myopia. Whole grains are rich in chromium, and children should be fed whole grains regularly to avoid chromium deficiency in their bodies.

The third is vitamin C: VC is one of the components of the lens of the eye. Lack of vitamin C can easily lead to cataracts, which is a cloudy lens. Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in VC.

The fourth is vitamin E: VE has an antioxidant effect, can inhibit the lipid peroxidation reaction in the lens, dilate peripheral blood vessels, improve blood circulation, and has a certain auxiliary effect in the treatment of certain eye diseases. The VE content in nuts and bananas is relatively high. Let children eat a certain amount of nuts every day, which is beneficial to their eyesight.

Fourth, high-quality protein and calcium: Lack of protein can easily cause vision fatigue. Protein is the main component of cells. Children should consume enough high-quality protein such as eggs, milk and meat. Calcium has the effect of eliminating eye strain, so you should also eat foods rich in calcium such as beans, green leafy vegetables, and dried shrimps.

The above is an introduction to what six-year-old children with declining vision need to pay attention to in their diet. After understanding it, we know that in order to ensure that children's vision will not deteriorate seriously, we must pay attention to special adjustments in diet. We should give children more foods rich in vitamins and proteins. At the same time, we should try to keep children away from electronic products and protect their eyes.
