Which Foods are Best for Your Vision?
It's true: the right foods can help your eyes stay healthy and your vision sharp. All of the following foods are rich in either anti-oxidants, which may delay cataracts and macular degeneration, or Omega 3 fatty acids, which may relieve dry symptoms and improve cholesterol and tri-glyceride levels:
1. Kale (the richest souce of anti-oxidants). Collard greens and spinach are also great.
2. Berries (terrific for anti-oxidants, vitamin C, and fiber)
3. Algae-eating fatty fish, especially salmon (high in Omega 3 fatty acids)
4. Broccoli, cauliflower and other cruciferous vegetables (anti-oxidant effects)
5. Citrus fruits like oranges, apricots (high in Vitamin C)
6. Garlic, onions, shallots, chives (high in anti-oxidants)
7. Teas, especially green teas (for the anti-oxidant effect)
8. Nuts (Vitamin E)
9. Eggs (yolk contains Lutein, an anti-oxidant)
10. Carrots (rich in beta carotene that converts to vision-enhancing Vitamin A)
