Maybe we just have to learn to live the best we can with them and if they go away, then that will be a plus because we'll know what it is to live a nightmare and will appreciate more the relief. This is however sometime easier say than done. My floater situation was "very bad" and that is what bring me to this site (I did have floaters younger, but they were not giant, omnipresent, etc. as the one that appeared some years ago). But for me, they faded and floaters is far from being a major problem now (I have other ones! ...). So I cannot entirely say that I learned to live with them, they changed and then it was easier to live with it. So we can maybe say that it is a combination of both (i.e. floaters changed and some adaptation on my side, adaptation was made easier by the former).
I have Crohn's disease, and when people told me it is something hard to live with it, I was saying, well you have to live with the thing you cannot changes. The truth is, it is bothering, but the problems were not bringing me down or disturbing me that much. Sometime it also depends of the nature of the problem and the person.
So if you analyze what floaters are (chunk in your eyes that cast shadow), you will quickly understand that they cannot "disappear" magically (unless they are blood floaters for example). However, there is good chance that yours will fade away or sink like they say and that can help you live better with it. Of course that won't happen to everyone, and for really bad case there is FOV (Vitrectomy) or Laser zapping. But before going for any surgery, I will first suggest to someone suffering to give yourself sometime and really to try to learn with them if possible as it is less risky (except maybe your sanity). Don't let them bring you down easily (re-read this if needed).
Last year however, I have lived a REAL nightmare. A couple of events happened and then I had tinnitus and very weird head sensation that really did bring me down, so down and so much suffering that I had dark idea. I did not even dared to post something on tinnitus support board like I have done here on the floater board, because it was for me an useless discussion, but I was reading, but not believing... And if you did know me before, you will see a joker, laughing at everything, even floaters, but still _ME_, I had those dark idea (c), I thought my situation was permanent and that there was no solution at all. That started October last year and the situation started to get really better only since around 2 months ago. However, I am still not 100% my true self (e.g. laughing as before, etc.), but people from outside probably cannot tell and now that it is better, I will work forward improving and living with my problems the best I can, I have no choice as I have little control over it, except trying like you say, to eat well, train, and take care of myself. Those are probably not bad advice. And contrary to floaters, I don't understand what is exactly causing tinnitus, nor anyone can really tell me. They can only emit hypothesis as much as I can. And I also know that for some people it go away as fast as it came, and I WISH that will also be my case, but until then I try to do my best.
For floater, I highly doubt that eating something will make them magically disappear. That doesn't mean there is not a better solution than the surgeries we know for it, but big chance are you should not invest all your energy on it hoping you will find a magic bullet against them.
Maybe you guys need solution to learn to live with it? ;-)
Now that I said all this, when reading I found people on this floater board that said that tinnitus was EASIER to handle than eye floaters because you get used to it. Strange thing is that I would exchange everything that happened to me for a couple of floaters. Maybe I got it worst, or maybe it is a problem that bug me more than some other here. Maybe some people will exchange Crohn's disease for a couple of floaters and tinnitus. That is what sometime is strange, but I think all these problems are not at the same level, nor do they affect the person having them the same.
So if you can, really, as frustrating as it may sound, try to learn with it. Try to not let these problems bring you down. I do understand your suffering, I am not saying this with disrespect like some rude people, I have been there. Even if it is easier say than done, I will end this post on a quote that sum it up:
Accept what you cannot change
Recognize what you can change
