5 Top Foods That Improve Hearing Health

June 18, 2020 by Alison Leave a Comment

For many people, eating healthy food is about being healthy and maintaining the right weight. However, another part of our body needs more consideration anytime we think about eating healthy, and that is our hearing health. Although activities and habits such as loud music, improper ear cleaning, and smoking are responsible for a lot of hearing problems, there are some simple ways of ensuring optimal hearing health – and it all starts with what we eat. So, in this article, we talk about some foods that promote healthy hearing.

Dark Chocolate

Let’s start with something sweet, shall we? If you think there isn’t any more reason to love dark chocolate, then you are so wrong. Dark chocolate makes people happy. Aside from the fact that it helps to trigger ‘happy feelings’, it is also a rich source of zinc. Making sure that our meals contain enough zinc is very important as it helps to prevent the possibility of hearing loss as our bodies grow older. Add some dark chocolate to your snack, and your ears will be thanking you a lot 

Bananas

From one sweet thing to another, let’s talk about bananas. Bananas are not only healthy and delicious, but they are also one of the best foods that offer protection from the possibility of hearing loss. Bananas contain magnesium, and this plays an important role in improving blood circulation. Our blood vessels extend to the inner regions of our ears. Magnesium, thus, helps to ensure that blood flow reaches the internal areas of our ears. It also helps to control glutamate release, which is caused by being exposed to very loud noise for a long period. Glutamate release is one of the factors that contribute to hearing loss 

Broccoli

Now, let’s talk about something less sweet (and something your kids probably do not like) but delicious, anyway – broccoli. Broccoli is rich in vitamins K and C and contains a lot of fiber. These nutrients also play a huge role in controlling the free radicals that are responsible for weakening the immune system. This contributes significantly to also protecting our hearing health. Plus, broccoli can easily be incorporated into any kind of diet.

Oranges

Bananas are not the only fruits that promote healthy hearing; oranges also play a huge role. Oranges are rich in vitamin C as well as vitamin E. These vitamins also help in keeping free radicals in proper check while providing the immune system with the needed support. And one of the most effective ways of reducing the risk of hearing loss in the future is by having a strong immune system.

Salmon

Let’s round up our list with fish. Salmon is rich in essential nutrients such as omega-three fatty acid and vitamin D. Ensuring that you consume salmon at least twice a week helps to reduce the risk of future hearing loss significantly. The omega-three fatty acid helps to support the blood vessels found in the sensory system of the ears. You can derive similar benefits from other fish sources like tuna and sardines.
