5 ingredients to add to your diet to promote better hearing!
🐟Fatty fish (salmon, sardines, trout) – a good source of omega-3s, which have been associated with a lower risk of hearing loss in large prospective studies.
🥬Leafy greens (spinach, kale) – provide folate and carotenoids; higher intakes of specific carotenoids and folate have been linked with lower risk of hearing loss in cohort research.
🫘Beans and lentils – an easy way to build a DASH/Mediterranean-style plate, dietary patterns that have been associated with lower risk of hearing loss.
🥕Colorful produce (bell peppers, carrots, sweet potatoes, citrus) – antioxidant-rich foods that help support overall cell health; antioxidant intake has been studied in relation to hearing outcomes.
🥜Nuts and seeds (walnuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds) – provide magnesium and vitamin E; magnesium and antioxidant nutrients have been researched for potential protective roles in hearing health contexts.
