‘There is evidence that dietary antioxidants and anti-inflammatories may provide benefit in decreasing the risk of age-related eye disease. Nutrients of interest are vitamins C and E, β-carotene, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin, and the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.’
Any food with Vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, E, Riboflavin, Niacin, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Omega-3 fatty acids and Thiamine to name the most well-known ones.
Carrots, broccoli, kale, spinach, citrus fruits, sweet potatoes, nuts and seeds, whole grains, salmon, crabs, lobster, oysters, turkey and plenty more healthy options.
