Eye Healthy Foods For Thanksgiving (Or Anytime Of The Year)

I never really thought of any food I eat to be “eye healthy“. Sure growing up, there were carrots that I would nibble up because my mom and dad said that carrots helped you see better. So, I made sure I was always eating those. After all, I did not want bad eye sight, who does?

Now that I have a family of my own, I tend to think about things like this, more often. What foods actually help with vision? What eye healthy foods can I feed my family? With a little research, I found some good foods for my family to be eating to help ensure their eyesight stays healthy.

With the holidays around the bend, I thought I would serve up some eye healthy foods for Thanksgiving.  Some of those foods will be:

sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are rich in omega-3s and studies show it can help protect tiny blood vessels in the eyes and help ensure moisture

avocados

Avocados are great source of vitamins A, C, B6, and E which can help defend macular degeneration, cataracts and other age-related eye diseases

spinach

Spinach is a great source of calcium, iron, thiamine and other vitamins to help prevent cataracts

    Yes we have vision care and I think I better put it to use. The older I get my eyes are getting worse and I can barely read the dates on coupons. I try to eat lots of veggies but I am not sure it is working for me.

    Love to eat lots of healthy vegetables and I was not this way til about 10 yrs. ago. It would be pretty easy for me to become a vegetarian.

    Great to see some of the foods that I like to eat are good for my eyes, I grew up thinking carrots were the only ones good for my eyes and now I also see the my love of avocados is beneficial to my old and tired eyes. Thank you for sharing this on eye healing and the VSP program

    I recently got VSP and look forward to my first eye check up in January (when I’m due for my yearly exam) Eye health is just so important and should not be overlooked.
