Foods for our eyes

Hi viru We must remember that foods rich in Vitamin A, C, and E are the primary contributors for healthy eyes. Vitamin A prevents night blindness, while Vitamin C acts as the protector of eye health. Your vitamins should come from food sources rather than supplements. Other minerals that are good for your eyes as well include selenium and zinc. Selenium helps your body to absorb Vitamin E, while Zinc helps your body to absorb Vitamin A. Recent research shows that two carotenoids viz lutien and zeaxanthin also are very beneficial to our eyes. Here is the list of vital vitamins and their food sources: Vitamin C: Good sources include citrus fruits and juices, papaya, cantaloupe, green & red pepper (sweet), kale, tomato juice (low sodium), Brussels sprouts, strawberries, raspberries, mango, broccoli, and cauliflower. Vitamin E: Good sources include almonds, sunflower seeds, safflower oil, peanuts, peanut butter, corn oil, mango, and eggs. Vitamin A (Beta Carotene): Good sources include carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, mangos, squash, apricots, turnip greens, spinach, cantaloupe, red bell peppers, and cod liver oil. Lutein and Zeaxanthin: Good sources include spinach, kale, turnip greens, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, carrots, green peas, corn, zucchini, romaine lettuce, and broccoli. Selenium and Zinc: Oysters contain both selenium and zinc. Additional good sources of selenium include Brazil nuts, yeast, and other seafood. A few good sources of zinc include beef, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, wheat, and nuts.

I suggest you eat a lot of butter or margarine by adding it to your bread. I also suggest that you add a lot of yeast to your food. yeast is good for the eyes.

The only one that I know of is carrots.
