Cataract clouding of the lens is called cataract. Heredity, aging, trauma, radiation, poisoning, metabolic abnormalities and local malnutrition can cause damage to the lens capsule membrane to increase its permeability and lose its barrier role, or lead to disorders in lens metabolism, causing degeneration of lens proteins and the formation of clouding. Cataract patients should eat more dark green and fresh vegetables, and try to avoid the following foods: 1, wine is very harmful to vision, not only wine can produce wet, but also will produce phlegm and fire, intensifying eye lens clouding and blurred vision.
2, fried food and artificial fat, margarine, animal fat, because these foods will accelerate the oxidation reaction, making people prone to cataracts.
3, whole milk powder, milk, cream, cheese, ice cream and other dairy products rich in lactose, such as lactose contained in milk, through the action of lactase, decomposed into galactose, some people’s ability to metabolize galactose in milk is reduced. In addition, galactose interferes with the utilization of vitamin B2 in dairy products, causing it to be deposited on the lens of the eyes of the elderly, and the protein is prone to denaturation, leading to a decrease in lens transparency, which can easily induce or aggravate cataract.
