Brightly Coloured Veggies Good for the Eyes
09 Apr 2024
Orange, red, yellow and green veggies and fruit contain the organic pigments lutein and zeaxanthin. These two substances go to work in the macula of the eye, filtering and protecting against damage from blue light in cells that allow fine-pattern vision. Without eating enough of these foods, age-related macular degeneration can eventually occur. Good sources are cantaloupe, corn, carrots, and orange and yellow peppers.
