Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Add these three foods to your diet to promote your eye health
Caption: Add these three foods to your diet to promote your eye health. To help you stay on top of your eye health, consultant ophthalmologist Alex Day has identified the top foods to help support your vision. Omega-3 fatty acids These can help reduce inflammation and keep the retina healthy, among other benefits. The best sources of omega-3 fatty acids include fatty fish such as salmon and sardines, flaxseeds, chai seeds, walnuts, eggs and dairy products. Vitamin C This can protect your eyes in a number of ways and may help reduce the risk of eye problems such as cataracts. ”This powerful antioxidant protects the eyes from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can damage the lens and other tissues in the eye.” "Vitamin C also supports the health of capillaries in the retina and helps regenerate other antioxidants, like vitamin E.” To increase your vitamin C intake, eat brightly coloured fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, broccoli and red peppers. Zinc Zinc deficiency has been associated with poor night vision and an increased risk of AMD progression. ”It supports the structure of eye proteins, contributes to wound healing in the eye, and assists in the production of melanin, which protects the eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) light.” The best sources of zinc are oysters, lean red meat and poultry, beans, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds and fortified cereals.
