Give Your Eyes a Gift for the Holidays, a Healthy Diet

Some ten million Americans are diagnosed with Age-Related Macular Degeneration annually. The eye disease continues to be one of the leading causes of vision loss for people 65 and older in the US. As researchers continue to search for the cure for macular degeneration, they have found that what we eat can help keep our eyes healthy, slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration or even reduce the risk of having this serious eye condition.

Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, such as Vitamins A, C, and E, and essential fatty acids, which can be found in fish, nuts and leafy greens, can protect help to protect our eyes from disease, according to Dr. Sandy T. Feldman. So this holiday, try a serving of sweet-potato and carrot soup or one of the other special, eye-healthy recipes found here.
