Fish, as well as green vegetable and egg yolks are amazing sources
of food which bring you a good chance to care for your eyes. Nevertheless, fish
eyes do not bring any nutrients to nourish your “window to the soul”.
Regular
consumption of fatty fish helps
improve your visual acuity. However,
fish eyes bring no nutritional
benefits. If you have a strong desire for healthy
eyes, you should follow a diet
of high anti-oxidants including
lutein, zeaxathin, vitamin C, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids.
Lutein and
zeaxathin are found chiefly in green vegetable such as kale, spinach, green
broccoli and egg yolks. Vitamin C, found in citrus fruits, bell peppers and
Brussels sprouts can protect your eyes
against UV rays. Vitamin E, which is abundant in sunflower oil, peanut butter,
almonds helps reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Particularly, following the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, can lower the risk of AMD up to 31%.
Experts
suggest that you should eat baked or broiled fish instead of fried one, combining with other flavorings like
herbs and lemon juice.
