Did you know eating healthy can also help your eyes?

Well it can! And it’s not only carrots you have to eat. Take a look at this list of eye friendly foods that can surely help keep your peepers happy.

Follow these easy steps from Epoch Times and you’ll be well on your way to an eye-friendly diet.

Eat the Rainbow. Eat three colors of fruits and vegetables a day.

Get Comfortable With Carotenoids. Vital to eye growth and development, carotenoids are key nutrients that give vegetables and fruits their vibrant colors. While considering eye-healthy ingredients, remember the darker the vegetable or fruit, the better it is for your eyes.

Think deep-red tomatoes, dark-green kale, bright-orange squashes and sweet potatoes. These foods contain high amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, also powerful carotenoids that are great for your eyes.

An Apple a Day Keeps the Ophthalmologist Away. Apples, along with produce like limes, blueberries, and onions, are a major source of nutrients called polyphenols. These may help blood flow to the retina and fight damage from ultraviolet sunlight.

Make Friends With Fish. Seafood like scallops, salmon, sardines, and halibut are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support healthy eye development. Enjoy them at least once or twice a week simply grilled, tossed in salads, or piled high in spicy fish tacos.

Two Foods Are Better Than One. There are certain eye-healthy combinations that are more beneficial when eaten together. To help your body absorb eye-healthy vitamins more efficiently, eat them with a small amount of fat like a drizzle of olive oil or with avocados and nuts, which are good sources of healthy fats.
