Bright Eyes: What should you eat for healthy eyes?
Carrots aren’t the only way to eat your way to a healthy pair of eyes
We’ve always been told that carrots are the key to maintaining good eye health. It’s been said that this notion gained popularity during World War II when it was reported that a British pilot owed his excellent vision to his steady diet of carrots.
As it turns out, this old wives’ tale has more than some truth to it. Carrots are a potent source of beta-carotene, which helps the retina and other eye parts to function smoothly. Being a pigment, consuming too much beta-carotene can leave a yellow tint on your skin – so be sure to ingest with caution.
Thankfully carrots aren’t the only food that can help battle eye problems. There are several other vitamins that are essential to maintaining healthy eyes. To keep your peppers in the best shape, make these five foods staples in your diet.
