The food you eat does more than just fill your stomach. There are diet types that are appropriate for various medical conditions that were previously only treated with medication. Food has provided a much-needed natural means in the health recovery process for your body. When it comes to eye health, eating foods that can aid or boost your vision is critical. Because the eye is the most important sensory organ for experiencing the world around you, you should pay special attention to what you feed your body and how what you eat affects your eye health. The eye can be affected by a variety of conditions. Most eye conditions are caused by genetics, the negative effects of gadget use, age, and other external factors such as trauma. However, regardless of the cause, the foods you eat can help to mitigate the effects of whatever condition your eye is experiencing.

Below are 18 superfoods known to improve eye health and keep glasses away;

1. Fish: fatty or oily fish are high in Omega-3 fatty acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is essential for retinal health and reversing dry eyes. Salman, trout, sardines, anchovies, tuna, mackerel, and herring are all good sources.

2. Seeds are high in plant-based Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, which help slow the progression of macular degeneration and improve eye health. Hemp seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds are all good sources.

3. Nuts and seeds are both high in vitamin E and Omega-3 fatty acids. Almonds, pistachios, cashews, peanuts, and Brazil nuts are all good sources.

4. Pulses and legumes: Peas and beans such as snake beans, green beans, and broad beans are examples of legumes. Pulses are dried legumes such as lentils, kidney beans, black-eyed peas, mung beans, and chickpeas. Fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids are abundant in pulses and legumes.

5. Dark leafy greens: Leafy greens are widely available and not only improve eye health but also the overall health of the body. The darker they are, the better. Kale, collard greens, and spinach are high in lutein, an important carotenoid for the eyes, and vitamin C.

6. Sweet potatoes are high in vitamins A and C, as well as lutein. Sweet potatoes are not only good for your health, but they also help to lower your glycemic load.

7. Citrus fruits and berries are high in vitamin C, which is an important antioxidant for health and lowers the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Lemons, grapefruit, oranges, and strawberries are all good sources.

8. Carrots: Carrots are high in vitamin A and beta carotene. Vitamin A aids in the absorption of light by the retina (the light-sensitive part of the eye), and beta-carotene are required by the body to produce vitamin A.

9. Lean meat and poultry: When consumed in moderation, lean meat can be extremely beneficial not only to eye health but also to the body as a whole. Lean beef contains zinc and vitamin E, which are beneficial to the health of the cornea and retina. Zinc is also found in poultry such as duck, chicken, and turkey.

10. Eggs: Eggs in any cooked form (boiled, poached, or scrambled) are good for your eyes. The egg yolk is high in zeaxanthin and lutein, and the egg white is high in protein.

11. Whole grains have a low glycemic index, which aids in the prevention of age-related macular degeneration. Whole wheat, brown rice, quinoa, and oats are all good sources. They contain niacin, zinc, and vitamin E which promotes eye health.

12. Raw red pepper: Red pepper, also known as bell pepper, is high in vitamin C, which reduces the risk of cataracts and nourishes the blood vessels in the eye. It also contains vitamins A and E, which are beneficial to eye health. Heat destroys vitamin C, so eat it raw whenever possible.

13. Squash: Squash is high in zeaxanthin and lutein. Vitamin C, zinc, vitamin E, and Omega-3 fatty acids are also found in the summer and winter varieties.

14. Broccoli and Brussels sprouts are packed with vitamin A, beta carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, vitamin C, and vitamin E. These nutrients shield your eye cells from free radicals, which degrade healthy tissues and cells.

15. Dairy products, such as yogurt and milk, are high in zinc, which prevents cataracts, improves night vision, and transports vitamin A to the liver, as well as vitamin E, which promotes corneal health.

16. Oysters are high in zinc and fatty acids. Both nutrients improve overall eye health and slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration.

17. Tomatoes: Tomatoes, like red peppers, are high in vitamin C and can be eaten raw.

18. Water: The importance of water in the body cannot be overstated. While it is not food, water is essential for eye health because it prevents dryness.
