Prevent Hearing Loss By Eating These Foods… By Ben Carter
Did you know that the foods you eat on a day to day basis could be impacting your hearing? It’s easy to get wrapped up in the notion that nutrition primarily impacts our body weight, heart health, and risk for disease.
But what about hearing? Truth be told, your nutritional intake will have a significant influence on the hearing loss you do or don’t experience, so it pays to take control over your diet.
There are a few foods that can help take your hearing up a notch, ensuring that you aren’t left always being the one to ask to have the volume turned up on the TV.
Which foods should you focus on? Let’s take a closer look at the top foods that can help you put an end to hearing loss.
- Get Your Daily Dose Of Vitamin C
Finally, the last nutrient that you’ll want to take in is a hearty dose of vitamin C each and every day. This should be easy to consume as long as you ensure you are eating a good dose of bright colored fresh fruits and vegetables on a regular basis.
These are loaded with vitamin C, which help to foster a stronger immune system, which in turn keeps your entire body healthier overall.
Vitamin C also helps to act as a powerful antioxidant in the body as well, so will further help fend off free radical damage and oxidation.
Are these foods regular mainstay’s in your diet plan? If not, now is the time to consider adding them in. By focusing your calories on the most nutrient dense foods out there, you can ensure that you are fueling your body for optimized health in the long run.
- Canned Salmon
First, consider canned salmon. What you want to do here is leave the bones in. Canned salmon bones are safe to eat and what’s more, can supply a great dose of vitamin D in the process. This is a nutrient that most people fall deficient in, and a nutrient that helps to improve your hearing.
Along with that, Omega-3 fatty acids, which are also found in canned salmon, also help to catapult your hearing upwards as well. Paired together, this is a food that simply cannot be beat.
Some research suggests that those who consume fish at least twice per week experience a 42% lower chance of suffering from hearing loss compared to those who aren’t eating fish.
- Get Your Greens
Another group of foods that must be added to your diet plan are green vegetables.
The reason? These supply an excellent source of folic acid, which is another nutrient that is helpful to preventing hearing loss.
The best sources of folic acid to consume include: spinach, asparagus, green beans, and broccoli. Start making these a regular part of your everyday diet and you’ll be noticing benefits in no time.
These foods provide antioxidants that can help defend against free radical damage, which can lead to damaged nerve tissue in the inner ears.
To help get you eating better, check out this delicious recipe for salmon salad.
