Title: superfoods for eyes


1
7 Super Foods for Eyes as Sharp as a
Hawk
2
Carrots
  • Carrots cannot repair vision acuity, but the
    vitamins found in carrots do promote overall eye
    health.
  • Carrots are loaded with beta carotene and
    antioxidants, two primary substances that your
    body converts into vitamin A.
  • Vitamin A makes sure that your eyes function as
    best as they can.

3
Tomatoes
  • Tomatoes are a rich source of carotenoids and
    lycopene that help protect the retina from
    light-induced damage.
  • Your body needs at least 6,000 micrograms of
    lycopene every day to ward of age-related macular
    degeneration.
  • 1 cup of sliced tomatoes contain approximately 25
    mg lycopene and 106mg of copper.

4
Spinach
  • Spinach is a rich source of lutein, folic acid
    and carotenoids, all of which are great in
    protecting your eyes against harsh UV rays.
  • It is only leafy green veggie that is so dense
    in nutrients.
  • It is low on calories and is an ideal diet food.

5
Eggs
  • Lutein-enriched eggs will fight off most
    degenerative eye diseases.
  • Eggs also give your system the energy it requires
    to make it through the day.
  • Whether you like your eggs scrambled, poached or
    as an omelet, make sure to eat at least two eggs
    every day.

6
Ostrich
  • The idea of eating ostrich might not exactly be
    appealing to your senses, but it does have its
    perks.
  • Ostrich meat is loaded with proteins, zinc and
    iron all of which are great for your eyes.
  • Plus, it is not as fattening as beef or other red
    meat.

7
Nuts
  • You knew nuts can be great for your skin and
    hair, but did you know that it can also work
    wonders for your eyes?
  • Nuts are an excellent source of vitamin E, which
    protects eyes from free radicals and slows down
    age-related muscular degeneration.
  • Just add a generous dressing of your favorite
    crunchy nuts to a salad and you are set for the
    day.

Sweet Potatoes
  • Beta carotene to the rescue once again! The
    bright-orange cover of the sweet potatoes is
    loaded with beta carotene and you dont need to
    be told exactly how helpful it can be for your
    eyes.
  • 1 medium sweet potatoes a day should meet your
    daily recommended dose of vitamin A.
