Systemic / Lifestyle / Environmental
If the body is inflamed, the eyes will likely be inflamed. Stress, anxiety, depression, lack of sleep or exercise, poor hydration and diet, environmental and systemic disease all drive inflammation. Just as the sources are multidirectional, it is important that the treatments be as well. The more hydrated you are, the more tears you can make. Make a goal to drink half your body weight in ounces per day, normally 8-10 glasses.

Anti-inflammatory diet
Countless studies have linked diet to health and wellness. A diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids is beneficial to thin the oil produced by the eyelids and increase its flow into the tear film, as well as heart health, brain activity, lowering cholesterol, and taming anxiety. Foods high in omega 3s are oily fish, walnuts, chia seeds, olive oil, and avocado. Focus on healthy fats like fish, nuts, and fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes, olive oil, beans, and leafy greens are also among the anti-inflammatory foods.
