What vegetables are good for the eyes?

1. Broccoli

Broccoli not only improves vision but also prevents cataracts. Broccoli contains lutein and zeaxanthin (a type of plant nutrient antioxidant in the carotenoid family). These substances are very beneficial to the lens. These carotenoids can protect eye cells from the pressure caused by free radicals.

2. Spinach

Eating a lot of spinach may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. This is due to the carotenoids—pigments found in green leafy vegetables and yellow vegetables. People who eat a lot of these vegetables every day have a 43% reduced chance of developing macular degeneration. Parents can give their children more vegetables, which not only supplements iron but also effectively prevents eye diseases.

3. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are very nutritious, with vitamin C content equivalent to 2.5 pounds of apples, 3 pounds of bananas, or 4 pounds of pears. While cooking vegetables for about three minutes can cause a 5% loss of vitamin C, the loss of vitamin C in tomatoes after cooking is less than in other vegetables. It is calculated that eating two to three tomatoes per person per day can meet the daily needs for vitamins and minerals. Parents can prepare foods made from tomatoes for their children to nourish their eyes and stimulate their appetite.

4. Carrots

Carrots have two characteristics: they have a higher sugar content than other vegetables and have a sweet aroma; they also contain abundant carotenoids, which can be converted into vitamin A in the human body. Vitamin A can maintain the health of the eyes and skin. People suffering from rough skin, night blindness, dry eyes, and childhood rickets are due to a lack of vitamin A, especially children who need it more during their growth and development.

5. Soy Products

Soy products contain essential fatty acids, phytoestrogens, vitamin E, and natural anti-inflammatory agents beneficial to the eyes. Soy milk, soybeans, and tofu are beneficial for eye health. Foods rich in vitamin E, such as olive oil and cereals, are also beneficial for your eyes.
