Your Diet Can Impact Your Vision

As many of us know a healthy diet is important to maintaining a healthy body. But what we often don't think about is the fact that eating healthy impacts our whole body. Sure it is easy to think about your waistline or how your pants fit, and in recent years it has become more and more important to think about heart health as it relates to foods. Now it is time to encompass everything else. How you eat can affect your vision. Keeping a healthy diet can help to reduce cataracts and other eye problems. It is imperative not to cut all carbs out of your diet because they are essential nutrients that the body needs, especially the eyes. Protein plays an equally important role in maintaining macular health. Don't stop eating those leafy greens and other vegetables. And carrots are still on the top of the list, too!

Happy eating!
