According to relevant experts, sweet foods can contribute to the development of nearsightedness. This is because the sugar in sweet foods requires a large amount of Vitamin B1 for metabolism in the human body. If excessive sugar is consumed, the body's Vitamin B1 levels can become relatively insufficient. Therefore, experts recommend that children with nearsightedness should try to eat fewer sweet foods.
Excessive Garlic Consumption is Harmful to the Eyes
Garlic is a good seasoning and has a certain preventive effect on many diseases, and moderate consumption is indeed very beneficial. However, if garlic is consumed in excess over a long period of time, especially for eye patients and those with a strong internal heat, such as those who frequently have fevers, hot flashes, and night sweats, it can have adverse effects. Therefore, there is a common saying that "garlic has a hundred benefits but harms the eyes." During treatment, eye patients must avoid the "five pungent" foods—garlic, onions, leeks, ginger, and chili—as well as other irritating foods, otherwise, it will affect the treatment efficacy.
