Carrots boast high levels of Vitamin A and beta carotene, the latter lending the veg its vibrant orange hue. While Vitamin A is crucial for eyesight, beta carotene's role remains debated yet essential for Vitamin A synthesis.
Sweet potatoes, akin to carrots, are brimming with beta carotene, which adds to their vibrant colour. Additionally, they're a treasure trove of antioxidant-rich vitamin E, enhancing their nutritional allure.
Citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapefruits are packed with vitamin C, another potent antioxidant. Endorsed by the AOA, this vitamin helps combat age-linked eye deterioration.
Leafy greens such as spinach, kale, and collards are nutritional powerhouses, abundant in eye-boosting lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin C, making them a feast for both the palate and the eyes.
