(1) should eat less or no snacks (especially less sugar food), eat more natural substances with complete nutrition. Snacks are mostly finely processed foods, which have lost a large amount of micronutrients in the production process; in addition, most snacks are high in sugar.  (2) Correct the bad habits of partial eating and picky eating, and ensure the diversity of food types.  (3) Eating more coarse and reasonable dietary structure plays an important role in protecting the eyesight of teenagers. “One part prevention is better than 10 parts treatment”!

Grain brown rice, eat less processed too fine food to maximize the retention of micronutrients.  (4) Eat more hard foods.
