3 – Spinach for eyes
Spinach is one of the best dietary sources of lutein, which makes it a particularly important food for the promotion of healthy eyesight and the prevention of cataracts and macular degeneration.[3]
A study of 356 individuals having age-related macular degeneration revealed that higher consumption of spinach led to a substantially lower risk of age-related macular degeneration.
Another study has revealed that spinach intake is associated with a lower risk of getting cataracts.
Research has found that higher dietary consumption of vitamin E and lutein is linked to significantly reduced risk of cataract.[4]
