One of the reasons for the popularity of oranges is the fact that this vision food is not only tasty, but low in calories. But more importantly, they are full of essential vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants vital for protecting our general health and eye health as well.
If you are concerned about nutrition that can protect and preserve your precious eyesight, here are the benefits of oranges:
Vitamin A, found in oranges, consists of vital nutrients called Carotenoids, which include Zeaxanthin, Lutein and Beta Carotene. These play an important role in supplying your eyes with nutritional protection from age related eye diseases such as Macular Degeneration that can lead to night blindness. It also plays a role in helping your eyes to process light sources properly leading to an improvement in night vision and a reduction in the risks for night blindness.
Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection for the eyes, which in turn is an aid against cell damage. It’s also good preventive medicine against age related vision disorders such as Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma and Cataracts.
Now you have a reason to eat juicy oranges whenever you like!
