Essentials For Optimal Eye Health
Key nutrients for eye health:
●Lutein and zeaxanthin: To help reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), eat one cup of colorful fruits and vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, kale, corn, green beans, peas, oranges and tangerines four times a week.
●Essential fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids such as flax or fleshy fish such as tuna, salmon, or herring, whole grain foods, lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye. ●Vitamin C: Fruits and vegetables, including oranges, grapefruit, strawberries, papaya, green peppers and tomatoes, can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD.
●Vitamin E: Vegetable oils, such as safflower or corn oil, almonds, pecans, sweet potatoes, and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation.
●Zinc: A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts; therefore, consuming red meat, poultry, liver, shellfish, milk, baked beans, and whole grains on a daily basis is important.
