Our eyes are so important to us and it’s important we change our diet to include foods that would be good for our eyes.
Foods low in saturated and trans fat are good for your eyes as they help keep your eye’s blood vessels healthy.
To help you achieve great eyes, I have got 6 foods you should include in your diet today.
1. LEAFY GREENS
Leafy greens like Spinach are important for the eyes as they are packed with two potent antioxidants, Zeaxanthin and Lutein. These antioxidants help absorb blue light which is dangerous to the retina. They also help lower the risk of chronic eye diseases such as cataracts.
2. CARROTS
If you are not a fan of carrots, you now have one reason to add them to your diet today. Vitamin A and beta-carotene promote eye health and carrots are rich in both. Vitamin A help protect the eye cells from free radical change.
3. TURKEY
How about using turkey as substitute for beef for the sake of your eyes? Turkey is rich in B-vitamin niacin and zinc. Adding turkey to your diet will help your eyes fight off cataract and keep them healthy.
4. SWEET POTATOES
Sweet potatoes are rich in beta carotene. They are also rich in vitamins A and C. Sweet potatoes help keep your eyes healthy.
5. TOMATOES
Lycopene is very good for the eyes and they can be found in tomatoes. Lycopene protects the retina and other areas of the eye from light-induced damage. Adding tomatoes to your meal is a must if you want to protect your eyes.
6. YELLOW CORN
Yellow corn is rich in Zeaxanthin and Lutein and these antioxidants are good for your eyes. Adding corn to your diet will lower the risk of cataracts and it also helps prevent the loss of yellow pigments in the eyes.
So don’t forget to add any of these to your diet today.
