As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. People with big eyes look beautiful and energetic. The size of a baby's eyes is partly inherited from their parents, just like double eyelids. Every time I see someone else's baby's eyes being big, black, and bright, I envy them immensely. These babies are so cute, I really want to know what they ate. So what do babies eat? Their eyes are big and dark?
What to eat? Baby's eyes are big, black, and bright
1. You can eat more foods rich in vitamin A, DHA, and other nutrients to make your baby's eyes dark, bright, and lively. DHA is particularly important for the maturation of retinal photoreceptor cells. Eating foods rich in DHA during pregnancy is beneficial for the development of the fetal brain and retina, and can make the baby's eyes black and bright.
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is a component of rhodopsin in visual cells that senses weak light. Rhodopsin is composed of opsin and 11 cis retinal, and is associated with dark vision. Pregnant women often eat foods rich in vitamin A, which is helpful in preventing night blindness in babies.
What fruits are good for babies' eyes to eat
1. Fruits containing vitamin A, such as apricots, melons, peaches, and papayas.
2. Fruits containing vitamin B groups, such as bananas, grapes, pears, and kiwis.
3. Fruits rich in vitamin C, such as guava, kiwi, strawberry, and tomato.
In addition, you should also eat more yellow green fruits, which contain lutein and zeaxanthin. Once these two pigments enter the body, they accumulate in the light-sensitive tissues at the back of the eyes, which protect the eyes by filtering blue light.
Additionally, it is crucial to supplement with sufficient calcium during pregnancy. Although the size of a baby's eyes is directly related to their parents' genetics, the brightness of their eyes can be changed through the diet of pregnant women. During the first three months of pregnancy, if a pregnant woman experiences pregnancy related symptoms and does not want to eat, she should not compromise and bravely face it for the sake of her baby's health. Try your best to eat what you like and eat more foods that are beneficial to your baby.
