Oily Fish
Oily fish are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids that lessen the risk of macular degeneration and glaucoma. Oily fish to include in your healthy diet plan include salmon, herring, trout, tuna, and mackerel.
Nuts and Legumes
Nuts and legumes are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. The latter is an antioxidant thatshields the eye cells from the unforgiving free radicals. For nuts and legumes, you have a wide range of options. From walnuts to Brazil nuts and cashews to peanuts, the choice is endless.
Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, an antioxidant that can work magic on your eye health. Try lemons, oranges, or grapefruits.
Worst Foods for Your Eye Sight
Sugary Drinks
Sugary drinks (soda, Lemonade, sports, and energy drinks) are high in calories and artificial sweeteners. These two are associated with type 2 diabetes and heart disease that makes you more susceptible to eye conditions-diabetic retinopathy and AMD.
Fried Foods
Like sugary drinks, fried foods heighten the risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. As briefly stated above, these diseases open the doors for diabetic retinopathy and AMD.
Processed Meats
Processed meats, including bacon, hot dogs, and deli meats harbor high amounts of sodium. High sodium stores in the body trigger high blood pressure. With hypertension, you are more likely to develop hypersensitive retinopathy, choroidopathy, and Neuropathy. As a nutrition expert, I strongly suggest moderating your consumption of processed meats.
