What we feed our bodies feeds our eyes.

Many of the vitamins and minerals in our bodies are found in much higher concentrations in our eyes, so a diet lacking in these vitamins and minerals can lead to vision problems as we grow older.

Take the time every day to give your eyes (and the rest of your body) the nutritive support they need.

Eat the foods and take the supplements that provide the antioxidant vitamins and minerals your eyes require.

You’ll Protect Your Eyesight, ensuring years of good eye health, and increasing the odds that you’ll avoid blindness or vision loss for the rest of your life.

Do You Have a Vision Story That You Can Share?

I need your help.

I have a page on this website that is for my readers to tell their Eyesight story. My hope was to have people tell their story so it might help someone else with the same problem or experience.

But lately there has not been any activity on this page. Could you please look at this page and contribute someone if you can.

Thank You

October – Super Foods for Better Eyesight

Unfortunately, there's no candy that I know of that does anything beneficial for your eyesight, and refined sugar and artificial sweeteners are actually pretty bad for it, so I put together this list of some super-vision foods that you may not have known were good for your eyes.

• Eggs – Eggs are not only delicious, they supply your eyes with lecithin and amino acids. Your lenses need these nutrients to help prevent the formation of Cataracts. Poached eggs are the best way to maintain the nutrients, but scrambled eggs are great too if you don't know how to poach. Try to avoid fried eggs as the heated oil can damage the nutrient content.
• Garlic – It makes your breath smell, but keeps your eyes strong. Garlic has a lot of sulfur, which your body converts into glutathione. This chemical protects your lenses from Free Radicals and oxidation. You can also find sulfur in onions or capers.
• Chocolate – Did I say that no candy is good for your eyes? Well, maybe a Milky Way bar isn't too beneficial, but dark chocolate is great for protecting all of the blood vessels that criss-cross through your eyes. This strengthens the Cornea so that it doesn't deteriorate as fast as you age.
• Berries – Berries are absolutely amazing foods. They are highly concentrated sources of vitamins and Antioxidantss – think of them as packing the same punch as a larger fruit but in a smaller package. Blueberries, strawberries, goji berries, and wolfberries are just a few of the berries that help protect your eyes from damage. Goji berries in particular have been popular for centuries in Eastern cultures. Scientists in China have done some research that suggest that the antioxidants in Goji berries can help remove blind spots and Improve Night Vision.
• Oranges – Vitamin C is one of the main constituents in oranges and serves to protect the eyes against damage from free radicals. Other food sources of vitamin C are spinach, tomatoes, kiwis, and Brussels sprouts. Vitamin C supplementation is also a great idea if you aren't getting enough in your normal diet.

When you break it down, eating a varied diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables is a great way to hold onto your eyesight well into your senior years.

Remember nothing beats a healthy diet with the right balance of Vitamins and Minerals when it comes to preventing an Eyesight Problem.

Your eyes will thank you!
