The eyes are most afraid of "sugar"

What is the nearness of elementary and middle school students?

The incidence of myopia in China is among the highest in the world: Myopia for primary school students has risen to nearly 40%, junior high school students have reached 60%, and high school students have reached 70%. Taiwan’s pupils’ myopia rate is the highest in the world. Why in the end? In simple terms, it is because of our increasingly refined, high-carbon, low-fat diet that allows more and more sugar to be consumed, and fewer and fewer nutrients, especially vitamin A, selenium and essential fatty acids. As a result, the eyes are “saccharified”. More than enough, lack of nutrition."

In addition to refined starches, our children’s intake of sugar is increasing day by day: everywhere fast food, everyday packaged foods and Dundon sugary drinks.

Chemically, starch is also sugar. We already know that sugar is very sticky and can bind collagen together and produce “saccharification” that makes the muscles lose their elasticity. After the muscles around the eyes lose their elasticity due to saccharification, they cannot flexibly adjust the focal length. When reading at a close distance is very long, the muscles of the eyes may be fixed at a near focal length, and it is not easy to change to a far focal length, so it is not clear what is in the distance. In severe cases, the eye crystals themselves can also be saccharified, become cloudy, form cataracts, and even lead to blindness, such as diabetic eye diseases.

On the other hand, increasingly refined high-carb, low-fat diets have made most Chinese people increasingly lacking eye nutrients such as vitamin A, selenium and essential fatty acids. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble substance. Eating animal food is the best way to obtain and absorb it. Simply eating vegetarian food cannot effectively absorb vitamin A. Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is an important component of photoreceptor cells in the retina, and lack of it can lead to decreased vision, night blindness, or even blindness.

Therefore, to avoid and reduce myopia, it is necessary to follow the "Lucasine" (crotalus is a low-carbs English transliteration, that is, low-carbohydrate. The full expression of the decacas concept is: low-carbon sugar, high nutrition, anti-glycated , Antioxidant - Editor's Note) The principle of diet nutrition, that is, strict control of refined carbohydrates (sugar and starch), eat more fish, meat, eggs, nuts, seeds, natural vegetable oils, dark vegetables, low-sugar fruits and Whole grain wheat, supplemented with vitamins (β-carotene, vitamin B and vitamin C), minerals (selenium and zinc), essential fatty acids and antioxidants. This dietary nutrition structure can avoid eye saccharification, supplement eye nutrition, and prevent free radical damage to the eyes.
