Flaunt your shade-wearing swag and beat the heat in style!
Wearing sunglasses that block at least 99% of UVA and UVB radiation is important to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of the sun's rays. UV radiation can cause damage to your eyes and increase the risk of developing eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Additionally, excessive exposure to UV radiation can cause a painful condition called photokeratitis, which is similar to a sunburn on the eyes.
When choosing sunglasses, look for ones that are labeled as blocking 99% or 100% of UVA and UVB radiation. It's also important to ensure that the sunglasses fit properly and are comfortable to wear, as you'll be more likely to wear them consistently if they feel good. Let us also add that sunglasses aren't just for summertime - they should be worn year-round to protect your eyes from UV radiation, even on cloudy days.
Trust Orange and Yellow for Healthy eyes
Orange-colored fruits and vegetables -- like sweet potatoes, carrots, musk melons, mangoes, and apricots are the fruits you must pick as friends for your eyes. These are high in beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A that helps with night vision, your eyes' ability to adjust to darkness. One sweet potato also has more than half the vitamin C you need in a day and a little vitamin E. And don’t forget to add Papaya too.
