Great Vision

Dr. Steven Pratt, the author of SuperHealth, says whole foods can help protect against eye disorders such as macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma.

Green leafy vegetables offer protection because of their high Lutein content. Also, antioxidant-rich fruits have been shown to be vitally important to your eyesight.

Because berries, grapes and other antioxidant-rich fruits are outstanding for protecting cardiovascular health, they are SUPERSTARS for protecting your sight. These fruits help decrease both inflammation and blood pressure, and high blood pressure is a risk factor for macular degeneration.

Fruits like blueberries contain anthocyanins - the dark purple pigmented nutrients that fight inflammation and improve blood flow. Anthocyanin rich berries also help prevent blockages to the arteries that feed oxygen to the retina, says Christine Gerbstadt, M.D., spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and author of Doctor’s Detox Diet: The Ultimate Weight Loss Prescription.
