Citrus fruits, especially oranges, support healthy eye capillaries thanks to their vitamin C power. This vitamin helps slow cataract progression and maintains clear vision over time.
Good habit: enjoy a fresh-squeezed orange juice or a whole orange every morning.
3. Papaya: the tropical anti-cataract warrior
Papaya is light, refreshing, and rich in vitamins A, C, and E, along with lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients act as a natural filter against UV rays and protect the lens from oxidation.
Wellness tip: Eat papaya at breakfast, ideally on an empty stomach, to help your body absorb its nutrients.
4. Carrots: The vision-support classic
An old favorite for good reason! Carrots provide beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A that supports healthy corneas and strengthens night vision.
Nutrition tip: Grate them raw with a dash of olive oil to maximize absorption.
5. Avocado: Your healthy fat ally
Yes, avocado counts as a fruit! Packed with lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin E, it boosts the absorption of nutrients from other foods while protecting the cells in your eyes.
Routine: Mash half an avocado on whole-grain toast for a perfect, eye-friendly breakfast.
6. Kiwi: Small but mighty
