Ocular Nutrition for Lifelong Healthy Eyesight
While good nutrition is imperative for all the various systems of our bodies, ocular nutrition is one of the systems we want to take special note of. Our eyesight is precious and fragile. As we age, there are cells that don't re-generate as quickly as when we were a tad bit younger. They need the extra help that supplementation provides (actually this is true for all of our cells). Providing our bodies with the nutrients that it requires should take a front row seat.
As wise women, we realize that we are not the invincible women of our younger years...and that we deserving of the best care we can possibly take. I've listed some of the most vital nutrients and the foods they are found in that support good eye health.
Vitamin A: cod liver oil, liver, carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash.
Lutein and zeaxanthin: spinach, kale, collard greens.
Vitamin C: sweet peppers (red or green), kale, strawberries, broccoli, oranges, cantaloupe.
Bioflavonoids: citrus fruits, cherries, grapes, plums.
Vitamin E: sunflower seeds, almonds, hazelnuts.
Selenium: brazil nuts, yeast, seafood.
Zinc: oysters, hamburgers, wheat, nuts.
Essential Fatty acids: cold-water fish (salmon, mackerel, trout).
I don't know about you, but I do not eat that purposefully, I know I should but I need help keeping my nutrient levels optimal so here is what I use to ensure my eye health (by the way, my eye doc says I have the lenses of a 20 year old!)
The wonderful thing is that these nutrients not only protect our eyes, things like carotenoids, flavonoids are great for breast health as well. Essential fatty acids are tops in hearth health too. Everything we ingest, whether good for us or not, affects every single cell in our bodies.
