Sample one day diet for healthy eyes
Busy lifestyles can make it difficult to eat the right foods all the time and supplementing your diet can help you to maintain healthy eyes. To get an idea of the volume of food you would need to eat to get all the nutrients needed to support your eye health you would need to consume the following foods on a daily basis:
Broccoli is a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin25 spears of broccoli = at least 10mg of lutein and 2mg of zeaxanthin*
Fresh tuna (not canned) is a good source of omega 3One portion of fresh tuna = at least 500mg of omega 3 with at least 360mg of dha (docosahexaenoic acid)*
Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin CThree oranges provide = 180mg of vitamin C *
Sunflower seeds are full of vitamin E¾ cup of dried sunflower seeds = at least 30mg of vitamin E*
Pork tenderloins are a good source of zincSeven 100g pork tenderloins = at least 15mg of zinc*
Needless to say, this is simply not practical for most of us to eat these amounts of food everyday. Thankfully, it is possible to get your daily recommended dose of lutein and other nutrients which support your vision by taking eye vitamin supplements such as Ocuvite Complete®.*According to the USDA national nutrient database
