Preserve Your Vision Through Diet!

Eyes

Wellness Tip: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) steals vision, but may be prevented by diet. Simple but effective nutritional changes can substantially lower risk.

Carotenoids are phytochemicals found in certain fruits and vegetables. The carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in the eye as macular pigment to preserve visual acuity. The more lutein and zeaxanthin in your eyes, the less likely you will suffer from macular degeneration.

Choose brightly colored produce such as corn, squash, broccoli, carrots, oranges, peaches, spinach and kale. Only 6 mg. of lutein per day decreases AMD risk by 43%.

Preserve your vision with colorful foods on your plate!
