Five Simple Ways to Keep Your Eyes Healthy
1. Eat Eye-Friendly Foods
Eating a healthy diet is good for your eye health. Try adding a colorful fruit or vegetable to every meal. Dark green veggies like spinach and kale are especially helpful! And don’t forget foods high in omega-3 fats like fish.
2. Get Moving
When you exercise, your whole body gets healthier—including your eyes. There are a ton of ways to get out there and get active, like walking, swimming, dancing, and playing sports. Just 30 minutes of movement each day can make a difference for your health.
3. Visit Your Eye Doctor
Regular eye check-ups (https://www.nei.nih.gov/learn-about-eye-health/healthy-vision/get-dilated-eye-exam) are super important. One reason is that many eye diseases don’t show signs until they’ve caused damage.
But your eye doctor has special tools to help spot problems early, even ones you can’t feel or see. If they find something wrong, then they can recommend ways to treat the problem.
4. Protect Your Eyes Every Day
Your eyes need protection:
• Wear sunglasses that block UV rays when you're outside, even on cloudy days.
• Use safety glasses while playing sports or using tools.
• Properly store and clean contact lenses (https://www.nei.nih.gov/learn-about-eye-health/healthy-vision/contact-lenses) if you use them.
• Wash your hands before touching your eyes.
5. Give Your Eyes a Screen Break
Phones, computers, and tablets can make your eyes tired. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This gives your eye muscles a chance to relax.

Did you know that what you eat plays a crucial role in your eye health? Proper nutrition is essential for maintaining good vision and preventing eye-related issues. Here are some key nutrients that can help keep your eyes healthy:

Self-management of diabetes is crucial for several reasons:

**Blood Sugar Control**:
Effective self-management helps individuals maintain their blood glucose levels within the target range, reducing the risk of both hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

**Prevention of Complications**:
Proper diabetes management can prevent or delay the onset of serious complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision problems. Maintaining good control over blood sugar levels is essential to minimize these risks.

**Empowerment and Independence**:
Learning to manage diabetes empowers individuals to take control of their health. This independence fosters confidence and encourages proactive behaviors, such as making healthier food choices and incorporating physical activity into daily routines.

**Education and Awareness**:
Self-management involves educating oneself about diabetes, including understanding how food, exercise, and medications affect blood sugar levels. This knowledge is vital for making informed decisions about daily health routines.

**Better Communication with Healthcare Providers**:
Individuals who actively manage their diabetes can provide valuable information to their healthcare team. This leads to more personalized treatment plans and better overall care.

**Cost-Effectiveness**:
Effective diabetes management can lead to lower healthcare costs by reducing the need for hospital visits, emergency care, and treatment for complications. By preventing serious health issues, individuals can save money in the long run.

**Behavioral Changes**:
Self-management encourages the adoption of healthier lifestyle choices, such as balanced nutrition and regular physical activity. These changes not only benefit diabetes management but also improve overall health.

Regular monitoring, education, and support from healthcare professionals can further enhance self-management efforts. AM Nutrition Services is here to help!
