"Open Your Dim Eyes Wide!" BEST 4 'Drinkable Eye Supplements' to Prevent Smartphone Presbyopia and Revive Eyesight

 Hello, this is Beatrice.

"Do your eyes feel dry when you wake up in the morning, and does the text on your smartphone look blurry by the afternoon?"

Modern people's eyes have no time to rest. Due to the blue light pouring in all day and the dry air from air conditioners, our eyes are aging rapidly. If left unchecked, 'Young Presbyopia' can arrive at an early age.

Today, instead of expensive supplements, I will introduce 4 types of 'Teas for the Eyes' that wash away eye fatigue and protect your vision just by drinking them daily like water.

1. The Seed That Brightens the Eyes, 'Cassia Seed Tea' 

Nickname: The King of Eyesight, Natural Sunglasses

Benefits: 

The name 'Cassia Seed (Gyeol-myeong-ja)' literally means 'to brighten the eyes,' and it is the foundation of eye health. Its 'Carotene' content converts to Vitamin A in the body, preventing night blindness and cooling down eye heat to clear up bloodshot eyes.

Drinking Tip: 

Unroasted seeds can have a fishy smell, so be sure to use 'roasted cassia seeds' and brew them to enjoy a savory taste similar to barley tea.

2. The Drinkable Lutein Bomb 'Marigold Tea'

Nickname: The Eye Supplement Itself, Macula Guardian

Benefits: 

The main ingredient of eye supplements sold in the market is exactly this flower. Marigold contains 'Lutein' and 'Zeaxanthin', which make up the macula (the core of vision), 4 times more than perilla leaves and 30 times more than broccoli. It is excellent for protecting visual cells damaged by smartphone blue light.

Drinking Tip: 

Since Lutein is a fat-soluble ingredient, the absorption rate increases significantly if you eat a few nuts along with your tea.


3. The Ageless Red Gem 'Goji Berry Tea' 

Nickname: Red Diamond, Remedy for Presbyopia

Benefits: 

Goji berries, which have been noted even in Harvard University studies, are rich in 'Betaine' and 'Zeaxanthin' that prevent eye aging. In traditional herbal medicine, they are considered a medicinal herb that strengthens the liver and kidneys to brighten dim eyes and solves dry eye syndrome from the very root.

Drinking Tip: 

It is best to boil it thoroughly for at least 20 minutes to fully extract the active ingredients, and then chew and eat even the boiled goji berries.


4. When Your Eyes Feel Dry and Burning, 'Chrysanthemum Tea' Nickname: Natural Eye Drops, Headache Extinguisher


  • Benefits: 

    It is excellent when your eyes hurt as if they are popping out or become red and bloodshot from overuse. The cold nature of chrysanthemum cools down the heat rushing to your head and eyes, so you can feel a cooling sensation the moment you drink it. It also clears your head, making it effective for headache relief.

    Drinking Tip: 

    If you add a little honey, it adds a relaxation effect and helps you get a good night's sleep.


[Conclusion]

"There is a saying: 'If the body is worth a thousand coins, the eyes are worth nine hundred.'"

Once eye health deteriorates, it is the hardest thing to reverse.

Starting today, cut back a little on the coffee that dries out your eyes, and gift a rest to your tired eyes with a cup of fragrant Marigold tea or savory Cassia Seed tea.

I am rooting for your world to become clearer and sharper tomorrow! 🌿
