The eyes are the windows to the soul and must be cared for diligently. To protect eye health, it’s essential to consume three key nutrients: lutein, anthocyanins, and vitamin C. Getting these nutrients from food, as it turns out, is often more effective than relying on supplements.

Lutein is a vital component of the macula in the retina. It has antioxidant properties and protects against blue light, helping prevent age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and retinal pigment diseases. This is especially beneficial for those who spend long hours looking at computers and phones.
