A low-fat nutritious diet is great for a variety of reasons, including eye health. Did you know snacking on healthy foods can help decrease a chance for common eye diseases and boost overall eye health? It’s true! Find out which nutritious snacks are the best for eye health!

Colorful Fruits

You know fruits are good for you, but choose the ones with the most color to receive the antioxidant benefits including Vitamins A, C and E. Try snacking on fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and oranges. All of which can be easily packed and snacked on throughout the day!

Deep Green Veggies

Vegetables, (especially the leafy, dark green ones!) can supply antioxidants such as Vitamin C and D. Broccoli, bell peppers and garden peas make an excellent snack choice to supplement eye health. Instead of using a dull romaine lettuce in your salad, try incorporating greens such as turnip, collard, mustard and kale for an extra nutrition boost!

Nuts & Eggs

These healthy snacks are great for eye health, too!

Brazil nuts, almonds and cashews provide minerals and Vitamin E, another vitamin that has been shown to slow Macular Degeneration. Additionally, the yolk in an egg does not only provide protein and Zinc, but can help reduce risk for Macular Degeneration and cataracts. Try boiling one in the morning and snacking on it with a small handful of nuts in the afternoon!
