Vegetables and fruits for to take care of eyes

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
