Healthy For Eyes - Healthy For You!

By Evgania Mehler

Are "bedroom eyes" sexy or healthy? The answer is, they're both. In order to have beautiful and attractive eyes you have to have healthy eyes. The good news is, you can not only have healthy and sexy eyes, but you can keep them that way. When you're doddering down the street with your cane, those eyes are still going to be turning heads.

Are you constantly on a diet? There are certainly enough of them out there to choose from. In fact, there's one for every part of your body. Do they work? Maybe, maybe not, but there is a diet that works. It targets your whole body with an extra added benefit, your eyes. You probably didn't know that your eyes need a healthy for eyes diet too. This diet will help you get and maintain a healthy body and healthy and attractive eyes.

If you do not realize how much eyes and vision mean to you, then you're like most people. Very often we don't appreciate our eyes at all. But if put a blindfold on and try to write a few words, assuming you can find paper and pencil without being able to see, you won't succeed. If you don't like the way this feels, then start taking better care of your eyes and stop taking them for granted.

If you can't see in the dark, you didn't do what your mom told you, did you? She said, eat your carrots and she was right, at least this time. Carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, winter squash and mangoes all contain beta-carotene which is transformed into Vitamin A in our bodies and it helps our eyes adjust to light changes such as, seeing in the dark. So, the next time your mom tells you to eat your carrots, do it, it's healthy for eyes.

Do you absolutely hate leafy green vegetables? If so, that means that spinach, kale and collard greens are not in a prominent spot on your grocery list. But, did you know that these green vegetables contain lutein? Lutein can help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration.

Do you hate vegetables, whether they're leafy green or anything else? Well, you're not alone. Many people just won't eat vegetables. Leafy greens, tomatoes, carrots, red peppers and squash are high in lutein which helps prevent degenerative sight problems. Still don't want to eat them? Then try a plate of green algae which is also high in lutein. Maybe they don't sound so bad anymore, do they?
