Foods You Should Eat Often To Cleanse Your Eyes & Boost Night Vision

This article will discuss how certain foods can affect night vision and eye strain, both positively and negatively. According to healthline prioritizing foods rich in specific nutrients can help with cleansing and improving vision. Here are some foods that can help with eye strain and enhance night vision:

1. Dark-green leafy vegetables like kale, spinach, collard greens, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts are high in antioxidants and minerals like vitamins A, B, and zeaxanthin. These vegetables help prevent the eyes from releasing dangerous free radicals, improve night vision, and lower the risk of major eye conditions like AMD (age-related macular degeneration).

2. Sweet potatoes contain the pigment beta-carotene, which helps eyes adjust to low light and improve night vision. Pineapples, cantaloupes, and onions also contain beta-carotene, while sweet potatoes also have a small amount of antioxidant vitamin E.

3. Squash is a whitish-green vegetable that is a good source of antioxidants zeaxanthin and lutein, which are essential for keeping the eyes healthy. Eating squash can result in clearer vision and make it easier to see in the dark. It is also a great source of vitamins A and C, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.

4. Foods like kale, spinach, and carrots contain carotenoid compounds that protect the retina from potentially harmful visible light. Mackerel, lean steak, poultry, red pepper, almonds, and sesame seeds can also improve night vision. It is important to increase intake of fresh, unprocessed meals while reducing synthetic and processed foods.

Remember to take responsibility for your own health and well-being by prioritizing healthy food choices.
