What Food Improves Hearing?
We need nutrition for a healthy functioning body. And what exactly is this nutrition? Where do we get it from? The answer is very simple. It is nothing but a collection of vitamins and minerals. And some of these vitamins and minerals are quite essential for maintaining your healthy hearing. They protect your hearing system and make them less vulnerable to changes from excessive noise exposure and medications as well as other factors that affect your hearing system.
So, which are these minerals and vitamins that promote hearing health? Food rich in magnesium is essential to maintain auditory nerve function and to improve blood flow. This mineral helps in protecting your ear from loud sounds and you would find this mineral in food items like dark chocolate, whole grains, salmons, spinach, and bananas.
Another mineral that contributes to a healthy hearing system is Potassium which helps in maintaining the fluid levels within your inner ear for healthy functioning and you would find it in food items like cucumbers, mushrooms, spinach, coconut, eggs, potatoes, and even in fruits like oranges, watermelon, avocado, and apricot.
Folate, the third mineral helps in proper blood circulation within your hearing system, and this is easily available in vegetables like broccoli, peas, kidney beans, and also in breakfast cereals, eggs, peanuts, and even in fruits like lemons, melons, and bananas.
Zinc comes fourth in the list helping in boosting the immune system to fight ear infections. It even reduces the chance of developing ringing sounds in your ear and also age-related hearing loss. This is easily available in foods like cashews, dark meat, mushroom, garlic, oyster, peanuts yogurt, beans, and even in oatmeal. Omega-3 fatty acids also help to maintain good hearing as you age and you will find it in food items like fish, especially sardines, tuna, mackerel, salmon, and in fortified eggs and milk as well as in leafy vegetables like spinach.
Taking Vitamin A, C, and E along with magnesium also prevents noise-induced hearing loss. These are also easily available in citrus fruits, peanuts, butter, almonds, and sunflower oils. You can even consult your physician regarding supplements if at all needed.
So, what are you waiting for? Open your fridge and see if you got enough vitamins and minerals stored up there to keep your hearing healthy. Or buy some because hearing healthy means living healthy.
