Foods that's best for our eyes!

I eat some of those food on the list like avocado, eggs, broccoli, tomato, carrots, spinach, garlic and salmon, but not as often. Actually, I rarely cook these days because I am often busy, so I just dine in or buy take out food in fast food restaurants. I know that it's unhealthy, not to mention impractical since they tend to be pricey at times. I guess i have to make some changes in my life then.

I eat most of them as I am working in front of the computer 8 hours daily. I love to have eggs mixed with tomatoes for breakfast. Cheers.

I eat some of those foods but not all.Salmon is not available here.Sunflower is available but one can get it only after a lot of effort.Your article is both informative and effective.

Hi Care, I think i have eaten lots of them that i have no problem with my sight. i have 20/20 vision. though i am into computer works, reading and crocheting. i better be having some of them. thanks for this.

I heard that papayas and squash can also help in eyesight. I don't know if it is true but many parents here in the Philippines, teaches kids that they should eat those for better eyesight.

hello friend one should eat everything and should not worry about the things should always be happy and should be worthwhile so be happy is the keyword eat leafy vegetables that best suits your eyes and avoid watching tv for a long time have a nice day

Some other foods that are good for eye health are green leafy vegetables such as kale collards and spinach that are full of lutein and zeaxanthin to help prevent cataracts and other related problems. Foods rich in vitamin C such as oranges, peaches and strawberries. Peanuts, almonds and sunflower seed are full of vitamin E which also helps to slow down age related macular degeneration. Kidney beans with zinc and works with vitamin A to the liver. It helps with night vision. Not my favorite bean. apricots full of beta carotene that converts to vitamin A in the body and helps with night vision. One should have at least one vitamin A food every day.

Hi Careguarden! Aside from what you have mentioned, I also eat squash, papayas, and many other green leafy vegetables. And to add on how to take care of our eyes, we should also protect them from harsh sunlight or strong radiation like the ones coming from our computers. Because I don't think if you abuse your eyes, eating healthy would not repair the damages. (^^,)

Hi, careguarden. Thanks for the information! I do eat most of these foods. I have heard of avocado. But, I have never eaten it before. The rest of them, I have eaten. I will make sure that I keep these foods in mind, being that I spend so much time in front of the computer almost half of the day. This is some great information here!

Very true, foods rich in vitamin A are good for our eyes. My mom used to tell us to eat squash when she always include it in her favorite dish. Although I only eat eat on that and I can only eat tomatoes when it is fresh like in salad, the amount of daily intake for that is not sufficient. So we do take food supplements like Zinc which is good not only for the eyes but the immune system, reproductive system and more. I also like to include garlic in my congee. About salmon and tuna, i really like to eat such because they are good also for the heart because of Omega-3.

I don't know the best for my eyes.I always eat carrots which contains large amounts of vitamin A. Vitamin A also helps to reduce your acne.Till now I don't have any eye problems .Thanks for telling me remaining food items which contain good amounts of vitamin A.I will take remaining food items if they are available in our place.

I eat them all aside from the kale and sunflower seeds, I am not familiar with it. I do eat lot's of Vitamin A rich foods because I'm getting old and my eyes is starting to get blurry. I am using a reading glass and I can't live without it. Wish I can have the money for lasik eye to bring back my 20/20 vision.

Yes actually I am so fond of eating and by this age-a young age, I am also conscious of what I eat. I make sure that my partner and I eats healthy foods because we don't want to risk our health.

Don't forgot nuts.Walnuts are a delicious way to add extra nutrition, flavor and crunch to a meal.This delicious nut is an excellent source of omega-3 essential fatty acids,a special type of protective fat the body cannot manufacture.

hi careguarden oh yes our eyes are very important to keep healthy'I fet some of these foods here at Gold Crest,they are long on carrots, and broccoli and spinach, tomato sauce on just about everything but Avocados and salmon no they do not seem to know what either one of those are.lol. we had pepperoni pizza for supper and it had a ton of tomato sauce on it so we did get some lycopene for supper tonight.we also have eggs almost every morning. So we get quite a lot of those foods surprisingly.

Don't forget brazil nuts- they're very high in selenium too. I eat all of the vegan friendly foods on the list apart from garlic!

Thanks for the information careguarden. I didn't know about the garlic, sunflower seeds and Salmon. Thanks so much for the information.

Hi careguarden, I really appreciate your discussion which is very imp. part of our body i.e.Eyes. One must take care of it and eat healthy. Well, among the listed food, I regularly eat eggs, brocolli, tomato, carrot, garlic. I like these food and my family too. Diet and upkeep are two important factors in taking care of your eyes. Eye exercises can restore your sight. Yes, carrot are rich in Vit. A and loaded with beta carotene are especially helpful in maintaining healthy eyes. Besides this when you are out in sun wear UV protective sunglasses. Get polarized lenses, not just darker lenses. The lenses that only make the world darker will just make your pupils dilate and don't do a thing to stop the UV rays. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can harm your eyesight, protection in youth can help prevent loss of eyesight in later years. Thanks.

Wow, there are actually only a couple of foods on that list of foods that I don't eat on a regular basis. The two foods that I see right off the top that I don't eat on a regular basis are salmon and kale. In fact, I don't think that I've ever been exposed to kale. When it comes to salmon, this is something that I will eat from time to time, but it isn't something that I eat on a regular basis because it takes a long time to prepare.

For me yes I want to eat carrot,squash,tangkong,paleya,petchay.
