I’m sure most of us have heard in
some way or form that eating food high in Vitamin A can help to improve our
vision. This is correct! Studies
are showing that two carotenoids, a form of Vitamin A, are reducing the risk of
serious eye conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular
degeneration. Lutein and
Zeaxanthin are naturally occurring carotenoids that act as antioxidants in
foods and help protect against retinal damage and the onset of these various
diseases. Here are 10 foods that

health!
