The eyes are the sensory organs which gather light from the surroundings and transform it into nerve impulses. These signals are sent by the optic nerve to the brain, which interprets them to produce an image and enables sight. Vision and overall eye health can be enhanced by including minerals, vitamins and antioxidants in the diet. Zeaxanthin, lutein, vitamin E, vitamin C and zinc are some of the nutrients that are good for the eyes. These nutrients can help lower the chance of developing significant eye diseases, including cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Most people can obtain all the nutrients they need for eye health by eating a varied diet that is rich in vegetables, fruits and lean meats. Some of the nutrient rich foods which are good for eye health are nuts, legumes, citrus fruits, carrots, beef, fish, seeds, leafy green vegetables and eggs. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of the relationship between diet, nutrition and the eye. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
