Mackerel is one of the types of marine fish that are rich in nutritional value, especially beneficial for eye health if used properly.
In the context of people increasingly exposed to electronic screens, increasing eye strain, dry eyes and vision loss, adding mackerel to a reasonable diet is important in protecting and maintaining vision.
Mackerel is notable for its high omega-3 content, especially DHA and EPA. DHA is an important structural component of the retina, helping to maintain visual function and improve the eye's ability to transmit nerve signals. Having maids present at family meals with rich cooking methods by housewives will help reduce the risk of yellow spot degeneration - a leading cause of vision loss in the elderly.
Omega-3 in mackerel also helps reduce dry eyes, especially in people who work long hours on a computer.
In addition, mackerel also contains vitamin A, vitamin D and selenium, which are important for the eyes. Vitamin A helps maintain healthy corneas and supports vision in low light conditions. Selen and vitamin D have antioxidant effects, helping to protect eye cells from the harmful effects of free radicals, thereby slowing down the aging process of the eyes.
Housewives note how to prepare to improve eyesight
For mackerel to be truly eye-healthy, the processing method and frequency of feeding play a key role.
Housewives should prioritize healthy cooking methods such as steaming, bding or light baking instead of deep-fried, because high temperatures and fat can lose omega-3.
During the processing, do not add too much salinity or use mackerel to smoke regularly. High salt intake can indirectly affect heart health and blood circulation to the eyes.
Regarding frequency, housewives can arrange for their family to eat about 2-3 meals of mackerel per week, combined with green vegetables and foods rich in vitamins C and E to help increase the ability to absorb nutrients and protect the eyes more comprehensively.
In particular, when choosing to buy mackerel, housewives should only choose fresh mackerel with clear origins to limit the risk of heavy metal contamination.
