Doctors in shock! Instantly boost your vision power!
Many foods benefit our eyes, but some offer a significant boost to vision quality and health, both short-term and long into the future.
- Vitamin A: Well known for one eye-friendly food: carrots — but it’s also readily available in sweet potatoes and spinach. Additionally, increasing zinc consumption can help with vitamin A absorption.
- Vitamin E: You can find vitamin E in whole-grain cereals, certain nuts (like almonds and hazelnuts) and, again, spinach. Increasing selenium in your diet can aid vitamin E absorption.
- Other antioxidants: Blueberries, artichokes and “real” dark chocolate with high cocoa content are among the foods rich in antioxidants. Lutein and zeaxanthin are particularly eye-friendly antioxidants, and have been proven to reduce the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy and certain disorders like age-related macular degeneration. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in many leafy greens.
- Omega-3s: These fatty acids can reduce the effects of dry eye, an increasingly common cause of blurry vision. The most beneficial omega-3s, EPA and DHA, are heavily concentrated in coldwater fish like salmon, mackerel, herring and tuna. Eating fish at least twice a week is often recommended to ensure adequate omega-3 intake.
