"Now is the 3C generation. Li, an attending ophthalmologist at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, said that office workers, especially now, are almost all mobile phones and computers, and they need to reply to messages, inquire about materials and send emails anytime and anywhere. When the symptoms of eye fatigue and sore eyes appear, it means that the eyes have a healthy warning signal and need special attention.
Eliminating eye muscle fatigue and acidity depends on anthocyanins. However, when people encounter eye discomfort, they usually choose eye drops, at least to make their eyes look less red. Li said that although eye drops can really temporarily relieve the bloodshot eyes, in fact, it depends on "anthocyanin" to relieve the fatigue and acidity of the eyes, because anthocyanin has a strong antioxidant function, which can promote blood circulation and relax the ciliary muscles around the eyes.
Eyes are like a camera lens. When you look at things, you will automatically adjust the lens, and the ciliary muscle is responsible for adjusting the lens. The ciliary muscle will contract at a close distance and relax at a far distance. If you look close for a long time, the ciliary muscle will contract continuously, causing muscle fatigue, which will lead to sour eyes, fatigue and even premature presbyopia.
In fact, there are many foods rich in anthocyanins, but "Mountain Sang Zi" is a particularly rich food. Li said that people who drive at night and work at night will also suggest that you try to supplement the mountain Sang Zi, because the mountain Sang Zi has a particularly good effect on improving night vision.

"At night, the retina needs a lot of light, but after receiving the light, the photosensitive pigment (rhodopsin) in the retina will decompose and the body will be synthesized again. This will be a complete cycle. In some studies, Shan Sang Zi found that it can enhance the body's ability to synthesize photosensitive pigments again, thus contributing to improvement. Li said to him.
Legend has it that during World War II, pilots of the Royal Air Force were given a diet containing mulberry jam before carrying out night bombing missions, because it could improve their night vision.
However, Li also stressed that in addition to adding mulberry, it is necessary to cooperate with other changes in eye habits, such as increasing sleep time at night. Some people have indeed improved their symptoms after taking Mori Zi, but the improvement effect will be more obvious if they can give their eyes a full rest at the same time.
Supplementing nutrition is not only to eliminate eye fatigue. Li said that the research on mountain Sang Zi is mainly aimed at how to improve the health of retina and how to eliminate muscle fatigue in mountain Sang Zi. These two conditions have also been proved; In addition to the improvement of night vision mentioned above, some minor symptoms, such as temporary blurred eyes when eyes are tired, also help to alleviate.
"For example, when you hot compress your eyes, your tight muscles will relax and your blood circulation will increase. The condition that the eyes are a little blurred due to fatigue will be improved. The effect of Sangzishan is somewhat similar. Hot compress will be better after eating. Li said to him.
According to the health education materials of Nuo Nuo Hospital, Morinda citrifolia, which is rich in anthocyanins, can help the eyes to improve blood circulation, increase the microvascular permeability of the eyes, maintain good metabolism, reduce the waste accumulated due to fatigue and poor metabolism, and improve intraocular pressure.
"In fact, anthocyanins exist in many fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries, eggplant and mulberry. But now many office workers eat out, so it is not easy to eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables, or even eat little or no fruits and vegetables. Therefore, moderate nutrition supplementation is also valuable for the eyes. Li said to him.
However, although Sangzishan is rich in anthocyanins, the anthocyanin structure is unstable and easy to be destroyed if it is exposed to high temperature during processing and extraction. Therefore, in the current technology, freeze-drying extraction technology can completely retain the anthocyanins of Morinda citrifolia, and has good antioxidant capacity, achieving clear, bright, comfortable and relaxing effects.
In addition, if you want to supplement mulberry, it is suggested that the absorption rate will be better if you eat on an empty stomach, but if your stomach is not good, you can change it to eat after meals to avoid stomach sensitivity.
