Pumpkin and strawberries are nutritional powerhouses that can work wonders for your eyesight. Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential nutrients, these two ingredients help protect your vision, reduce eye strain, and support overall eye health. Adding them to your diet in a simple and delicious drink can have lasting benefits for your eyes.
Why Pumpkin and Strawberries Are Great for Eyesight
Pumpkin:
- Vitamin A: Packed with beta-carotene, which your body converts to Vitamin A, pumpkin supports the retina and helps maintain sharp vision, especially in low light.
- Lutein and Zeaxanthin: These antioxidants protect the eyes from blue light and UV damage, reducing the risk of macular degeneration.
- Zinc: Improves eye health by supporting the functioning of Vitamin A.
Strawberries:
- Vitamin C: Helps strengthen the blood vessels in the eyes, preventing cataracts and reducing oxidative stress.
- Antioxidants: Combat free radicals that can damage the delicate tissues of the eyes.
- Folate: Promotes proper blood circulation, which is essential for healthy vision.
