  • We become what we eat. Good food and a healthy
    diet can prevent diseases for a lifetime. But
    many people confuse themselves with what to eat
    and what not to eat to prevent a specific
    condition, for example, diabetic retinopathy.
  • Diabetic retinopathy refers to a health condition
    in which the patient suffers from diabetes and
    vision loss. A regular visit to your Eye Clinic
    in Santacruz can help manage symptoms of diabetic
    retinopathy and prevent vision loss.
  • Note Not every diabetic patient will have vision
    loss. Regular health check-ups, a strict diet
    plan, and a healthy lifestyle will protect the
    individual's vision for a lifetime.

  • How to get more nutrients for healthy eyes?
  • If you have been diagnosed with diabetes or
    diabetic retinopathy, you must add a few food
    items to your diet
  • Raw fruits and vegetables
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables are a rich source of
    vitamins and nutrients. Foods rich in lutein
    contain antioxidant properties that help protect
    your eyesight. The list includes pumpkin, kale,
    turnip greens, garlic, corn, carrot, and
    strawberries.
  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin A supplements are readily available in
    the market, which helps manage your eyesight and
    diabetes. The supplements and food items such as
    carrots, kale, and spinach are excellent means to
    slow down retinopathy growth.

What to eat to prevent diabetic retinopathy?
  • Knowing what to eat and what not to eat to
    improve your health is the best way to prevent
    diabetic retinopathy. Although a diabetic patient
    is restricted from eating sugary food and sweet
    items, you may consider other healthy options to
    manage your diabetes and eye health. The diet
    plan includes
  • Half plate watery food items such as cucumber,
    watermelon, spinach, melons, lemons, and much
    more
  • A quarter plate of freshly cooked meat, eggs,
    tofu, nuts, and fish
  • A quarter plate of bread, grains, or starch (it
    is best to consume it in two servings)
  • One small cup of low-fat/no-fat/skimmed milk
  • One small bowl of fresh fruits

  • Whole grains
  • Food items like brown rice, oatmeal, and millets
    are high in vitamins, nutrients, fibre, and
    minerals. It helps the body manage its glucose
    level and controls your blood sugar levels.
  • Plant-based proteins
  • Beans, tofu, almonds, cashews, walnuts,
    pistachios, and hazelnuts are excellent means of
    managing and controlling diabetic retinopathy, as
    they contain high-fibre, vitamins, and nutrients.
  • What not to eat if being diagnosed with diabetic
    retinopathy?
  • Sugary and sweet food products are extremely
    harmful to diabetic patients. Also, food items
    that contain artificial sweet such as fast food,
    sodas, iced tea, cookies, and crackers increase
    inflammation, belly fat, and insulin resistance,
    which may further result in causing heart
    diseases. Therefore, these food items should be
    strictly avoided or consumed rarely in a limited
    portion.

  • White processed food such as white bread, rice,
    and pasta slows down the body's sugar absorption
    and minimizes your brain functionalities.
    Consuming white processed foods increases
    cholesterol and blood pressure levels, which can
    get life-threatening within a few years.
