How long have you been sit­ting at the com­put­er? Do you rarely go out­side for fresh air? You just don’t have time to vis­it an oph­thal­mol­o­gist and check your eye­sight? Then you will be inter­est­ed to know what foods you can add to your menu to keep your “clear eye” as long as pos­si­ble. It is known that vit­a­mins such as A, C, B and oth­ers are impor­tant for good vision. Let’s find out more about their ben­e­fits.

Not sur­pris­ing­ly, car­rots and dried apri­cots share the place of supe­ri­or­i­ty. Vit­a­min A, which is con­tained in these prod­ucts, pro­tects the eyes from free rad­i­cals and improves vision.

Use­ful for vision and spinach, it con­tains lutein, which pro­tects the eyes from cataracts.

Beans are rich in B vit­a­mins, espe­cial­ly a large amount of vit­a­min B6, which is respon­si­ble for the func­tion­ing of the immune sys­tem and skin con­di­tion. In order to pro­tect the ves­sels of the eyes, vit­a­min C is need­ed, it can eas­i­ly be found in cit­rus fruits, rose hips, blue­ber­ries or young pota­toes.

Here are some healthy eye sal­ads for you.
