Love and hate!The favorite dessert is actually the "accomplishment" of myopia!

Candy, cake, ice cream ... Sugar is the heart of dessert lovers! When you have no appetite, you can stimulate your appetite. If you are in a bad mood, you can relieve your mood, but many people do not know that the sugar contained in the sweets is not only a "weight loss killer", but also harmful to the eyes. Cui Dongmei, deputy director of the myopia prevention and control department of Shenzhen Ophthalmology Hospital, said that bread, biscuits, cakes and other foods in many families with breakfast dining tables. Chocolate and candy that children love to eat also contain a lot of sugar. Risks will greatly increase.

Excessive consumption sweets will cause damage to vision

Cui Dongmei introduced that there are many causes of myopia. In addition to congenital factors and overloaded eyes, dietary habits have a certain relationship. Excessive intake of sweets will destroy the normal diet structure, the dietary balance is affected, which is one of the factors of nutritional disorders. Excessive intake of sugar and high carbohydrates, a large amount of acid and excessive calcium salt in the blood will produce a large amount of acid in the blood, which affects the absorption of calcium. Insufficient calcium absorption will affect the outermost scleral film of the rear of the eyeball, reduce the elasticity of the eyes of the eyeball, and the eye shaft is more likely to be stretched, causing axis myopia.

At the same time, excessive sugar intake and increased blood sugar content may cause changes in the penetration pressure of the water and crystal body. When the penetration pressure of the water is lower than the penetration pressure of the crystal body, the water will enter the crystal body, prompting the crystal body to thicken or refractive refractiveness The index changes, resulting in or deepening myopia.

Excessive intake of sweets will induce visual fatigue. The body must perform various metabolism. The sugar metabolism in the body requires vitamin B1 to assist. A large amount of consumption of sweets will consume vitamin B1 in the body. To a certain extent for vitamin B1, which has the effect of curing the optic nerve, the optic nerve will be in a "malnutrition" state, inducing visual fatigue and leading to visual disorders.

In addition, eating sweets for a long time will cause increased blood sugar. High blood sugar may affect vision. If the high blood sugar is severe, it may cause diabetic retinopathy, which will induce malignant eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, and macular degeneration.

Eating more natural eye protection foods can enhance the "protection" of the eye tissue

Cui Dongmei suggested that they usually control their children's sweets and reduce sugar intake. Parents need to work hard on daily diet. Put less sugar in daily cooking to prevent children from forming dependence on sugar; eat less or do not eat snacks with high sugar content, the root cause refuses to take high sugar intake; be vigilant for "sugar -free" snacks, and "sugar" sugar content is high. Eat the following natural eye protection foods, which can enhance the "protection ability" of eye tissue.

Vitamin A

Vitamin helps to nourish the liver and relieve eye fatigue. If vitamin A is lacking, it will cause night blindness. Vitamin A mainly exists in various animal liver, cod liver oil, egg yolk, carrot.

β-carotene

β-carotene is good for the eyes, mainly in yellow-green vegetables and fruits such as carrots, tomatoes, spinach, leek, sweet potatoes.

Vitamin C

The content of vitamin C in the human eyes is several times higher than the blood. As the age increases, the content of vitamin C will decrease, resulting in malnutrition of lens, and it is easy to cause lens degeneration. Leeks are rich in vitamin C. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and organic acids. They have the effect of protecting vitamin C due to acidity.

Calcium food

Calcium can stabilize the eyes of the eye to keep in normal state, avoiding myopia due to abnormal development of lens, green leafy vegetables, milk, beans, sesame, etc. are all foods rich in calcium content.

Cui Dongmei reminded that not only is sweets, no food can be eaten too much. Children must be nutritious to grow healthily. If parents find that their children are squinting in the distance, frequently rubbing their eyes, can not see the blackboard such as "signal", they must be Go to the ophthalmology hospital for inspection in time to prevent myopia as soon as possible.
