3. What is the role of diet in Ayurvedic eye care?

A balanced diet is fundamental in Ayurveda to maintain healthy eyes. Foods that balance the doshas and are rich in antioxidants can prevent and manage eye issues. Ayurvedic recommendations include:

• Carrots, spinach, and amla for Vitamin A and antioxidants.

• Saffron and almonds to enhance vision and reduce oxidative stress.

• Avoiding spicy, sour, and overly salty foods to prevent inflammation in the eyes.

• Drinking plenty of water and herbal teas to maintain hydration.

Ayurveda also emphasizes eating at the right time and in the right quantities to maintain overall balance.
