Eat More Raspberries!

Did you know that eating raspberries improves vision and prevents the eye and retina from infections and other damages.

Since raspberry is rich in antioxidants, it protects the eye retina from oxidative stress. So it is effective in preventing the loss of eye vision in the form of cataract or age-related degenerative eye disease macular degeneration.

The combination of antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin A and phenols ward off disease and safeguard the membranes of the eye that produce the watery fluid thereby cleaning and protecting the eye from “Dry Eye” syndrome.

It reduces the risk of pannus formation that is a layer of granulation tissue which forms on the cornea.

The Ellagic acid has also been found highly active in the upkeep of eye health and vision.

They reduce the production of active oxygen in the body which has been associated with an increase in the formation of free radicals. These free radicals can damage the vision beyond repairs in more severe and advance cases.

We know, we're counting down the days until raspberry picking season, too!
