Avinash Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Could you post the names of vegetables and fruits that can be included in one's regular food in order to keep one's eyes healthy? You can give the names in English or Hindi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauracandra Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 The only one I know of is carrots. I'm pretty sure its true and not just a myth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Posted June 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 I remember having read that carrots and sugarcanes help in this regard. But I have not tried these for sufficiently long time to know how much these help. That is why I wanted to know if some can give suggestions based on their knowledge and/or experience. I don't think that sugarcane can be used as part of regular meal. Though carrots can be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsdprasad Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Green leafy vegetables are also good sources in this regard. Its difficult to conclude the subjective experience of eating spinach and having healthy eyes because you eat a lot of other items along with its curry. -Prasad.

theist Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 I think it may be the beta carotene in carrots and other vegetables that helps the eyes. there is an herb called appropriately enough, eyebright, that you may want to look into.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 there are herb mixtures for the eyes you can get,they are usually called eye something or another, at health food stores,or even supermarkets or megalo marts, they usually include bayberry and eyebright,the best are made from extracts. the best food source is kidney beans,which is also the higest food source for phyto-estrogen.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Besides, carrot and spinach, papaya and mango are also good source of vitamin A which is good for eyes. Also the green leafy "Gangabavi" (in Telugu) "Parupu chetti keerai" (in Tamil) are good for eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 This is the first large-scale prospective study to examine diet and age-related maculopathy (macular degeneration). Participants in the study included more than 77 thousand women in the Nurse's Health Study and almost 41 thousand men in The Health Professionals Follow-up Study. The study found that the more fruit a person ate, the less likely the severe form of macular degeneration. Two fruits -- oranges and bananas -- took the cake (so to speak). Our Comment: This is a carefully designed study. The results were cautiously interpreted. The findings look important to us. Fruit is good for you and your eyes. Barbara K.

Kulapavana Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 "there is a grow of flesh on my eye boll it start with my left eye 2 years ago it is gradually spreading day by day resently its started in my right eye can you suggest any natural things for this" this looks to me like a parasite induced growth. you should take some very strong anti-parasitic medicine. this is no joke. parasites in that part of the body can easily kill you and affect your brain. I make very good anti-parasitic formula, you can read about it in the Marketplace section of this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
