| Our eyes require specific vitamins and minerals to maintain
optimum eye health and function.The typical diet cannot always supply
these vitamins and minerals in the right amounts. Current medical research suggests that patients with a diagnosed personal history of retinal degeneration, macular degeneration and/or ocular hemorrhages might benefit from daily dietary supplements of mineral and "antioxidant" vitamins that include: ZINC, SELENIUM, VITAMIN A, VITAMIN C, VITAMIN E. Some foods contain a higher than average amount of these vitamins and minerals: ZINC ~ sunflower seeds, lentils and ricotta cheese SELENIUM ~ shrimp, Brazil nuts, beef liver, and flounder VITAMIN A ~ carrots, sweet potato, winter squash and spinach VITAMIN C ~ guava, bell peppers, orange juice and cantaloupe VITAMIN E ~ wheat germ, corn oil, peanuts and cucumber |
