According to healthline One of the most severe eye diseases, glaucoma develops when excessive pressure in the eyes prevents normal outflow of fluid. Optic nerve injury is the second-most obvious complication of increased intraocular pressure. The ability to see is permanently lost if the optic nerve is injured.
Less studies have been published on the topic of which foods can reduce the risk of glaucoma than on the topic of other eye disorders in this category. In light of a recent article posted on WebMD, we'll be investigating whether or not a particular diet can reduce the probability of developing glaucoma. Relax and take in this article while you get some valuable knowledge.
What Foods Reduce the Risk of Eye Glaucoma?
One's risk of developing glaucoma can be greatly diminished by eating a diet rich in leafy green vegetables such as spinach, kale, and others. Research suggests that eating more dark green veggies may help reduce the risk of developing glaucoma.
Nuts and seeds are rich in vitamin E, which is essential for maintaining healthy cells and warding off free radicals that can damage eye tissue and increase the risk of conditions like glaucoma and cataract. Consuming nuts and seeds on a regular basis is a great way to lower your risk of glaucoma through nutrition.
Third, scientists recommend eating fish like salmon, tuna, sardines, and halibut on a regular basis due to the high level of Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been demonstrated to reduce eye pressure in people with glaucoma. The risk of developing glaucoma, therefore, decreases in proportion to the amount of fatty fish consumed.
