Scientists have proven that minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients found in foods play an extremely important role in maintaining human hearing ability.

Our ears are very sensitive. Thanks to our ears, we can explore the world through the sound waves captured around us. The human brain creates a sound map that helps us recognize our current life. But if we are exposed to too much loud sounds or continuous noise, it can damage our hearing organs. When we get old, many people can no longer hear clearly or become completely deaf because the hearing cells die or lose their function. Some of the following foods are very good for the development of hearing.

Foods rich in potassium include: bananas, apricots, watermelon, oranges, and spinach.

Potassium levels in the body decrease as we age. The ears are especially susceptible to this decrease because potassium plays a large role in how cells in the inner ear interact. Foods that contain potassium help the body fight aging of the auditory system and may even help prevent noise-related hearing loss.

Foods high in Folate

Folate has been shown to slow the aging of hearing. This B vitamin has long been known to prevent birth defects and is important for your health throughout your life. Folate is water-soluble and not stored well in the body, so you must get it daily from food.

Folate is found in broccoli, asparagus, spinach and other green leafy vegetables, lentils, beans, and avocados.

Spinach.

Foods with Vitamin C and E

These two vitamins act as antioxidants that protect cells from free radical damage. Vitamin E restores blood vessels and nerves around the ear while vitamin C boosts immune function to fight ear infections.

Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, fresh herbs, guava, and strawberries. Vitamin E is found in almonds, sunflower seeds, green leafy vegetables, mangoes, and olive oil. Foods rich in both vitamins are bell peppers, broccoli, kiwi, and papaya.

Papaya.

Vitamin D

This vitamin is rarely found in natural foods but is very important for health and many internal organs. It plays a role in weight control and bone formation. Recently, vitamin D has been known to help prevent hearing loss. Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory properties and strengthens the small bones in the ear.

People get vitamin D from sunlight, mushrooms, microalgae and lichens. To get enough vitamin D you need, spend a few minutes in the sun every day.

Foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids

Omega 3 is a healthy fat found in many nuts, grains, beans, and oils. These fats reduce inflammation that causes tissue damage and are beneficial for the cardiovascular system. Omega 3 is also effective in preventing age-related hearing loss.

Omega 3 is abundant in walnuts, beans, olive oil, coconut oil.

Foods containing Magnesium

This mineral helps us cope with stress and has been shown to increase auditory sensitivity, reduce tinnitus, and prevent hearing loss. There are many foods rich in magnesium, such as almonds, brown rice, green leafy vegetables, artichokes, barley, Brazil nuts, beans, and pumpkin seeds.

Pumpkin seeds.

Foods containing Vitamin B12

For vegetarians, it will be more difficult to supplement B12 because this vitamin is only found in small amounts in organic products, after entering the body is created in the intestines by beneficial bacteria. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to hearing loss. In addition, B12 is found in seaweed.
