EYES SPEAK............!


Good nutrition is very important for both your general and eye health. Good nutrition helps our body to grow, repair wear and tear, protect against infection and to function properly. An eye is an organ that detects light. Different kinds of light-sensitive organs are found in a variety of creatures. The simplest eyes do nothing but detect whether the surroundings are light or dark. More complex eyes are used to provide the sense of vision. More recently it has been suggested that two types of antioxidants, known as carotenoids, called Lutein and Zeaxanthin may also help with eye health. Taking antioxidants, Vitamin C, E, beta-carotene and the nutritional supplements of zinc, selenium and manganese minerals may help in preventing eye-disorders. Diets rich in antioxidants, especially vegetables and fruits, will protect the eyes from forming macular degeneration. This will also benefit the body with excellent mineral and vitamin intake including lutein and the B vitamins. Diet that includes vegetables, fruits and food rich in antioxidants may helps in preventing blindness.
