Eye Health – Nutrition

Adequate vitamins and minerals are essential to ward off certain problems and may also help reduce your risk of contracting cataracts and macular degeneration.

There are many such supplements available in most health stores but all of these vitamins and minerals are found commonly in many foods, so a healthy and varied diet in most cases could well help to ward off any degeneration of the eye. For example Vitamin A can protect against blindness, and Vitamin C may help in the alleviation of Glaucoma. Some essential fatty acids are required to help guard against macular damage. But the favourites that have been proven to help against Macular Degeneration are Lutein and Zeaxanthin.

Some of the ‘essential vitamins’:

  • Vitamin A(Retinol) Carrots, Cod Liver Oil, Liver,Kale, Mango, Spinach, Apricot, Red Bell Peppers
  • Vitamin C(acorbic acid) Guava, Red Bell Peppers, Papaya, Orange, Broccoli, Strawberries
