A large amount of food-related research has shown a very strong connection between food and overall health. There is fast-growing evidence that supports the idea that certain vitamins and minerals in different foods will fuel your body in a healthy way
as well as protect your vision for life. We thought this was worth looking into.
Vitamins A, C, and E or (ACE) are the best vitamins when it comes to maintaining healthy vision. Studies show that this combination of vitamins plus zinc is key when lowering the risk of advanced (AMD-what exactly is AMD?). This is yet another reason to develop good eating habits and to consume the right nutrients. Here are some simple ways you can stay healthy and care for your vision at the same time.
Foods That Will Help Keep Your Eyes and Body In Great Shape
Nature can provide you with all you need in terms of energy and vision protection. You can get the most out of what you eat by consuming a large variety of colourful produce rich in antioxidants. You can kick your nutritional intake up a notch by choosing foods that contain selenium, vitamin E, vitamin C, alpha-lipoic acid, and omega-3 fats. Throw these foods together in a colourful salad or steam a few vegetables as a healthy side dish or bring along some fresh fruit or veggies to snack on during the day.
Bell Peppers
Bell peppers that are bright in colour are a nutritional powerhouse that can help you reduce the risk of getting prostate cancer and help prevent age-related macular degeneration. Eating only one cup of bell peppers gives you 100% of the recommended daily dose of vitamins A and C. In addition, bell peppers are fat-free, low calorie, and contain three grams of fibre per cup. Plus, they can help make you feel fuller faster and can help you curb your hunger. Sounds like a lot of wins to us!
Carrots
What’s up Dock? Carrots are a highly portable snack that contains tonnes of vitamin A. Several studies have shown that vitamin A, C and E help reduce the impact of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Eat them with a salad, dip them into hummus or munch on them by themselves to benefit from these vitamins brought to you by carrots.
Spinach, Kale, And Other Dark, Leafy Veggies
We know! Some of these words can be a little scary but please do read on. Dark, leafy greens like spinach are packed full of vitamin C, beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These types of antioxidants protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. You can eat these greens in salads, steamed or mixed into a low-calorie dip to scoop up with some celery or carrot sticks. Yes, we said dip so DIG IN!
Sweet Potatoes
Like carrots, bright orange sweet potatoes are a great source of beta caroteneYou can make getting your vitamins more fun by cutting up your sweet potato into thin strips, drizzle with a bit of oil and roasting them in the oven with your choice of spices to enjoy some homemade sweet potato fries. In essence, we just suggested some fries for your eyes.
Bon appetite.
