00:14 Keeping your eyes healthy is crucial, and what you eat plays a big role.

00:18 Here are 10 delicious and nutrient-rich foods that can help protect and enhance your vision.

00:22 1. Raw Red Peppers

00:24 Bell peppers are packed with vitamin C, which is great for your eyes' blood vessels and may

00:28 reduce the risk of cataracts. Other vitamin C-rich foods include bok choy, cauliflower,

00:33 papayas, and strawberries. For the best benefits, eat them raw. They also contain eye-friendly

00:38 vitamins A and E. 2. Sunflower Seeds and Nuts

00:42 A small serving of sunflower seeds or almonds provides half the daily recommended amount of

00:46 vitamin E, which can slow age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and prevent cataracts.

00:50 Hazelnuts, peanuts, and peanut butter are also good sources.

00:54 3. Dark, leafy greens

00:56 Kale, spinach, and collard greens are rich in vitamins C and E, and they also contain

01:01 lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect against long-term eye diseases like AMD and cataracts.

01:05 4. Salmon

01:07 Salmon and other fatty fish like tuna and trout provide DHA and EPA, a

01:11 made of three fatty acids essential for retina health. They help protect against AMD,

01:16 glaucoma, and dry eyes. 5. Sweet Potatoes

01:20 Orange fruits and veggies, including sweet potatoes, are high in beta-carotene (vitamin A)

01:24 which aids in night vision and adapting to darkness. They also provide vitamin C and a

01:28 bit of vitamin E. 6. Lean meat and poultry

01:32 Zinc, found in high amounts in oysters, beef, pork, and chicken, helps transport vitamin A

01:37 from your liver to your retina, boosting eye health and protecting against macular degeneration.

01:40 7. Beans and legumes

01:43 Chickpeas, black-eyed peas, kidney beans, and lentils are excellent vegetarian sources of zinc,

01:48 which helps maintain night vision and slow AMD progression. Even baked beans can be beneficial.

01:53 8. Eggs

01:54 Eggs offer a great combo of zinc, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These nutrients block harmful

01:59 blue light from reaching the retina and enhance the protective pigment in the macula, aiding

02:03 central vision. 9. Squash

02:05 Both summer and winter squash are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin. Summer squash adds vitamin C and

02:10 zinc, while winter squash provides vitamins A and C, along with omega-3 fatty acids.

02:14 10. Broccoli and Brussels sprouts

02:17 These veggies contain a powerful mix of vitamins A, C, and E, all antioxidants that protect eye

02:22 cells from damage. They help shield your retinas from harmful free radicals.

02:26 Incorporating these eye-friendly foods into your diet can make a big difference in maintaining and

02:30 improving your vision. Start adding these delicious options to your meals today and
