Do you know which meal is good for your eye care? There are some foods that will be helpful for your eyesight.
Sweet Potato / Purple Sweet Potato
Sweet potato and purple sweet potato help to improve vision. The yellow pigment in foods is imparted by zeaxanthin and lutein. Sweet potatoes contain these antioxidants that help reduce eye inflammation and flush out toxins. You can consume baked or boiled sweet potato to reap all its benefits.
Eggs
Eggs are loaded with essential amino acids and both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. The egg yolk, though a little high in cholesterol, is a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which impart a yellow color to it. Consume one or two whole eggs to keep your eyes healthy. Boiled, poached, or soft-boiled eggs are best and can be added to other foods to enhance their taste.
Citrus Fruits
The eyes have a high metabolic rate and constantly need antioxidants to flush out toxins produced as a result of metabolic reactions. Citrus fruits like oranges, berries, and kiwis are loaded with vitamin C (an amazing immunity booster). It is an antioxidant that helps scavenge harmful oxygen radicals, thereby protecting your eye muscles from damage. Vitamin C also helps improve the health of the blood vessels present in the eyes.
Spinach
Spinach contains high volumes of lutein and zeaxanthin. These plant compounds can also be found in the eye, where they are responsible for protecting against damage from ultraviolet light. Consuming foods that contain high concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin can reduce the risk of developing chronic eye diseases.
Red Bell Pepper
Red bell pepper is a good source of vitamins A, E, and C and zeaxanthin and lutein. These vitamins and phytonutrients are known to protect the eyes from macular degeneration and help maintain good retina health of the eye by preventing oxidative damage
Carrots
Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene (an antioxidant and a precursor of vitamin A). Scientists have found that consuming carrots improves night vision in people and can prevent the deterioration of eyesight.
Fish
Fish, particularly salmon, can be a great food to consume for eye care. Salmon and other fish have omega-3 fatty acids. These are “healthy” fats. Omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to visual development and the health of the retina in the back of the eye. They can also help prevent dry eyes.
Beef
In moderation, lean beef in your diet can boost your eye health. Beef contains zinc, which helps your body absorb vitamins and may play a role in reducing the risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration.
