We’ve heard that tomatoes can help your skin, Mediterranean food is good for your heart, and a little agave nectar won’t hurt your libido. But what about our eyes?
Kale and Spinach
Just one cup of these cooked greens contains over 20 mg of lutein and zeaxanthin — two nutrients that are good for your eyes. These nutrients have been shown to reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Other sources include kale, turnip greens, corn, green beans, broccoli, romaine lettuce, and green beans.
Oranges and Eggs
If you’re not a fan of leafy greens, that last slide might be hard to swallow. Luckily, eggs and oranges are also good sources of lutein and zeaxanthin. So expect thanks from your eyes after every eggs and OJ breakfast.
Nuts and Seeds
Vitamin E protects the cells in our eyes from free radicals and slows the progression of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Eat just one ounce of sunflower seeds or almonds and you'll get more than a third of your daily value of vitamin E. Wheat germ, hazelnuts, and peanut butter also contain large amounts of the vitamin.
And carrots, of course
Yo, we mentioned carrots! Yes, these vegetables help your eyes by providing beta-carotene, which enhances night vision. But you don't need a rabbit's appetite to treat your eyes.
We can use Metatron Hunter 4025 (with its Foods database) to find more foods that are good for our eyes. It can also find more foods that are good for our other organs.
