Your Plate Shapes Your Vision 🍽️

What you eat doesn’t just affect your blood sugar, it affects how your eyes age.

For people living with diabetes, meals rich in leafy greens, omega-3s, and antioxidants help protect the delicate blood vessels in the eyes.

Stable blood sugar levels reduce the risk of swelling, leakage, and vision changes linked to diabetic retinopathy.

Every balanced plate is a small act of prevention, for your eyes, and for your health.

👁️Blink more. Strain less

When we stare at screens, our blink rate drops by up to 60%.

That means dry eyes, fatigue, and blurry vision can sneak up fast.

Blink consciously. Rest often. Your eyes will thank you later.

👁️Your eyes are faster than you think.

Every second, your eyes and brain work together to process thousands of details so you can effortlessly see the world around you.

In less than a heartbeat, your visual system gathers information, interprets it, and helps you react, whether it’s catching a ball, spotting a smile, or noticing something out of place.

Seeing is so automatic we forget it’s extraordinary.

Take care of your eyes. They’re doing more than you think. 💙

👁️ Friday Focus Check

A long week of screens, bright lights, and deadlines can leave them tired, dry, or unfocused.

Before the weekend begins, take a moment to rest your eyes.

Step outside, blink slowly, and look at something far away.

Your eyes deserve a little weekend reset too. 🌿
