5 best foods that improve eye health

Advertisement

A well-balanced, healthy diet is essential for maintaining eye health and may help minimise your chance of acquiring eye disorders. Serious eye conditions can be avoided by eating foods rich in antioxidants, which are vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. Limit your consumption of processed foods, saturated fats, and sugary foods. Let’s take a look at some best foods that are good for your eyes.

1. Fish

Many types of fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Oily fish have oil in their gut and body tissue, thus eating them provides more omega-3-rich fish oil. Some studies have revealed that fish oil can reverse dry eye, especially dry eye caused by computer use.

2. Raw Red Peppers

Bell peppers have the highest vitamin C content per calorie. That’s healthy for your blood vessels in your eyes, and science suggests it may reduce your chance of getting cataracts. Many plants and fruits contain it, including bok choy, cauliflower, papayas, and strawberries. Heat will break down vitamin C, so eat it raw whenever possible. Colourful peppers also include eye-friendly vitamins A and E.

3. Carrots

Carrots are popular for their eye-health benefits. Carrots, like egg yolks, contain vitamin A as well as beta carotene. Vitamin A and beta carotene nourish the eye’s surface and can help prevent eye infections and other serious eye conditions.

4. Leafy green vegetables

Leafy green vegetables are high in both lutein and zeaxanthin, as well as vitamin C, which is beneficial to the eyes.

Famous leafy greens include:

  • spinach
  • kale
  • collards

5. Sweet Potatoes

Orange-coloured fruits and vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe, mangos, and apricots, are high in beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that aids in night vision, or the capacity of your eyes to adjust to darkness. A sweet potato likewise contains more than half of your daily vitamin C requirements and a little vitamin E.
