Have you ever heard that eating carrots is good for your eyesight? Fish may be even better.
Results from two U.S. women’s health studies show that eating fish and vitamin D-rich foods may protect against Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in people over 65. One study found that women who frequently ate fish high in omega-3 fatty acids were significantly less likely to develop AMD, and another study found a 57% decrease in risk of AMD in women who consumed the most vitamin D compared to those who consumed the least. Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, trout, and tuna; and top food sources of vitamin D were fish, milk, and fortified cereal. Learn more at
