When you have a cataract there is a clouding of the eye’s lens which will eventually lead to poor eyesight. This eye condition slowly develops but may affect both eyes. The symptoms include; halos around a light, blurred vision, hard time seeing during night time, not recognizing faces and faded colors. These symptoms can affect your daily life if left untreated. Usually, older people get affected with cataracts but there are instances that even younger ones develop it. Cataract is the number 1 among the causes of blindness all over the world and this has been associated with depression.
The most common causes of cataract are; family history, diabetes, eye inflammation and exposure to radiation. The fastest way to resolve this condition is through surgery. But aside from spending a huge amount of money, there is always a risk just like in any other surgeries.
Nowadays, people have been intensively researching for herbal or natural remedies for any know health condition. Luckily for those who have cataract, there are natural remedies available now.
One very simple home remedy is to add spinach in your daily diet. Why Spinach? It increases the levels of zeaxanthin and lutein in the body which happens to be the 2 most powerful antioxidants that help in maintaining eye health. Spinach is also rich in carotenoids and Vitamin A; these two protects the eye from damage.
Experts say that Gingko Biloba boosts the oxygen levels in the eyes thus preventing cataract.
Vitamins E & C are also very helpful in maintaining good health for your eyes. These two vitamins can be found in blueberries, apple, cherries, cabbage and blackberries. Regular consumption of berries strengthens the blood vessels surrounding the eyes, protecting them from damage. It also reduces the pressure on the eyes; this prevents cataract and other possible eye conditions.
To keep the eyes healthy, consumption of dairies and foods that are high in saturated fats must be avoided. These foods promote the possible development of cataract. Antihistamine is also a no-no if you have cataract.
