Antioxidants — such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C, glutathione, lutein & zeaxanthin — help to neutralize these free radicals and protect the eye tissues
It may help reduce the development of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) and cataracts
WHOLE BODY HEALTH BENEFITS
Reduces free radical damage and helps to slow the aging process of cells
Helps to provide protection against diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, and others
What to Eat
Nuts, sunflower seeds, avocados, olive oil, whole grains
Do not go overboard with Vitamin E - it is easy to overdose since it is stored in fatty tissues in the body. Supplementation is usually not necessary if Vitamin E-rich foods are consumed.
Recommended Dietary Allowance: No more than 15 mg (22.5 IU) for teens/adults
