Food in sight

Steps to help prevent macular degeneration.

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness and severe vision impairment in Australia. To help maintain healthy sight, follow this six-step plan…

1. Eat more dark-green, leafy vegetables. They contain lutein, which is important for optimum eye health.
2. Eat two to three servings of oily fish each week.
3. Snack on a handful of nuts.
4. Limit your fat intake and maintain a healthy weight.
5. Get regular exercise. Even walking is good.
6. Don’t smoke – ever.
