We want to keep our vision and our eyes healthy . Can alimentation help to achieve this goal?

The answer is Yes and I will list 10 foods good for our eyes.


Raw Red Peppers

Bell peppers give you the most vitamin C per calorie. That's good for the blood vessels in your eyes, and science suggests it could lower your risk of getting cataracts. Brightly colored peppers also pack eye-friendly vitamins A and E.


Sunflower Seeds and Nuts


these seeds or almonds have a lot of vitamin E. A large study found that vitamin E can help slow age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from getting worse and may prevent cataracts.

Dark, Leafy Greens

Kale, spinach, and collard greens are rich in both vitamins C, E and carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin which lower your risk of long-term eye diseases.


Salmon

Our retinas need Omega-3 fatty acids to function, which we can find in fatty fishes like Salmon.


Sweet Potatoes

Orange-colored fruits and vegetables -- like sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe, mangos, and apricots -- are high in beta-carotene that helps with night vision.


Oysters

Oysters have more zinc per serving than any other food , Zinc brings vitamin A from your liver to our retina.


Beans and Legumes

Chickpeas are also high in zinc, as are black-eyed peas, kidney beans, and lentils.


Eggs

Squash

Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts

These foods come with another winning combination of nutrients: vitamin A (as lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene), vitamin C, and vitamin E. They're all antioxidants that protect the cells in your eyes from free radicals.
