Best food for your eye sight

Did you know that some foods can be benefitial to your eyesight?

Bell pepper contains a lot of vitamin C as well as bok choy, papaya, strawberries and cauliflower which is good for eye blood vessels . Colored peppers are also rich in vitamin A and E.

Kale, spinach, and collard greens are rich in both vitamins C and E. They also have plant-based forms of vitamin A which lowers your risk of long-term eye diseases.

Omega-3s plays a role in preventing dry eyes.

Orange-colored fruits and vegetables — like sweet potatoes, carrots, cantaloupe, mangos, and apricots — are high in beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A that helps with your eyes’ ability to adjust to darkness.

Zinc in lean meat and poultry brings vitamin A from your liver to your retina, where it’s used to make the protective pigment melanin. Oysters have more zinc per serving than any other food, but beef, pork, and chicken (both dark and breast meat) are all good sources.

The yellow-orange color of egg yolks also contains compounds that blocks harmful blue light from damaging your retina.
