From cell phones to computers, our world is full of glowing screens. So you might be concerned about your eye health. Plus, it’s common for eyes to get worse with age. To improve your eyesight, include these 20 foods in your diet.
1. Carrots
Carrots are packed with beta-carotene, a carotenoid that creates hue. This compound is also a precursor to vitamin A. And since it’s a powerful antioxidant, it can stop oxidative damage and reduce your risk of age-related degeneration. No wonder these veggies are called “X-ray vision carrots”! Try them as a snack with hummus or herby yogurt dip.
2. Bell Peppers
Brightly colored bell peppers are loaded with nutrients that help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). A single cup of bell peppers provides 100 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin A. They are also rich in vitamin C content. They are fat-free, low in calories and contain three grams of fiber per cup. Apart from their vast nutritious value, bell peppers are also quite filling and help curb your hunger.
3. Berries
Besides being rich in antioxidants, all berries are fantastic sources of vitamin C, which help reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts. Blackcurrants are packed with some of the highest levels of the antioxidant called anthocyanins found in nature. Red colored berries are also a rich source of beta-carotene, which is good for the eyes.
