5 Essential Foods To Boost Good Eye Health

Good eye health begins with looking at what you’re eating and the nutrients you are taking into the body.

If you are suffering with poor eye health, or any number of eye related conditions such as cataracts, age-related macular degeneration or glaucoma then it’s essential you look at your diet and the foods you are eating. Here are five foods you should eat for good eye health…

   1. Oily Fish

Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, wild oily fish contains healthy fats that can boost the overall health of your vision. Studies have shown that eating oily fish may help to ease age-related macular degeneration (AMD). One study found that people who eat at least one portion of oily fish per week cut their risk of AMD by 60% when compared with people eating fewer portions.

2. Citrus Fruits

Oranges, lemons and limes are packed full of Vitamin C and this means they are excellent for boosting healthy blood vessels in the eyes and protecting the macular against degeneration, a condition that can commonly affect the retina.

3. Nuts and Seeds

Almonds and various other types of tree nuts are rich in Vitamin E, a healthy fat that acts as a vital nutrient in guarding against various eye diseases including cataracts and macular degeneration. Symptoms can include visual distortion and cloudiness of the eyes.

4. Carrots

An abundant source of beta-carotene and Vitamin A, carrots can keep the surfaces of the eyes healthy. Beta-carotene is a form of Vitamin A found in plants and this plays a vital role in preventing macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of age-related blindness.

5. Spinach, Kale and Collard Greens

Spinach is a rich source of two antioxidants known as lutein and zeaxanthin that can lower the risk of macular degeneration. Eat plenty of these leafy greens if you want to keep your eyes healthy and in good condition.
