Optimizing Your Health and Vision: A Holistic Approach for Better Eye Care

At New Garden Eye Care, we believe that overall health and eye health are deeply interconnected. Your vision isn’t just about what you see – it’s a reflection of your body’s overall well-being. That’s why we’re excited to share insights from Dr. Charlotte Ablott’s Protocol for Inflammation Control, a comprehensive approach to reducing inflammation and improving long-term health. Dr. Ablott has spent hundreds of hours researching and compiling the science behind this approach, providing a #DATA-driven foundation for better health. Stop by the office for a copy of the one-page handout with more details!

Key Steps for Reducing Inflammation and Boosting Eye Health:

Prioritize Quality Sleep and Stress Reduction

Quality sleep and stress management are foundational to overall health, including your eyes. Poor sleep and chronic stress can drive up inflammation, leading to a host of health issues, including ocular discomfort, dry eyes, and even long-term vision problems. Building a routine that prioritizes rest, relaxation, and mental clarity can significantly improve your daily well-being.

Eliminate Processed Foods and Inflammatory Seed Oils

Dr. Ablott’s protocol emphasizes the importance of removing processed foods and inflammatory seed oils like canola, sunflower, and soybean oil, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids. These oils are known to disrupt the body’s natural inflammatory balance, potentially leading to chronic inflammation and eye conditions like macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome. Instead, focus on whole, unprocessed foods rich in omega-3s, like wild-caught fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, which are essential for retinal health and brain function.

Support Your Eyes with Proper Nutrition

At New Garden Eye Care, we proudly offer MacuHealth supplements, specifically formulated with nutraceuticals like lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin in precise ratios to increase the macular pigment levels in the back of the eye. This unique formulation provides robust protection for the delicate cells responsible for vision, helping reduce oxidative stress, enhance contrast sensitivity, and support long-term eye health. These key nutrients help protect the retina and macula from damage caused by harmful blue light and oxidative stress, making them a vital part of any comprehensive eye health plan.

Embrace the Power of Natural Light

Without the sun, there is no life. Natural sunlight is essential for regulating your circadian rhythms, which control sleep, energy levels, hormone production, and overall biological function. Studies have shown that early morning sunlight exposure – without sunglasses for a few minutes – can help reset your body’s internal clock, improving mood, energy, and immune function. This practice can also support your ocular health, reducing the risk of myopia and other vision problems.
