Does Juicing Improve Eyesight?

To get a better understanding of why juicing is so good for our eyesight, we need to look at nutrition as a whole. After many years of studying nutrition, it is clear to me that our body needs ample amounts of natural vitamins and minerals to help sustain its high performance and functions.

This of course can be obtained from a good well balanced diet containing mainly of vegetables and fruits. If you think about the average western diet, our meals consist mainly of meats and carbohydrates, such as potatoes, and only a small portion of vegetables. So why is it so improtant to get plenty of vitamins and minerals? I like to use the analogy of building a house to help with this.

Image you were building a house and had a choice of poor quality material and high quality material. Clearly you would go for the high quality as you want the house to be strong, function well and remain so for as long as possible. Try to think of the body in the same way.

The better the material you are using to make up the body, by this I mean the cells, than the better the overall structure is going to be. This becomes even more important when you want to overcome a condition such as retinitis pigmentosa as you really do need the best materials available on the market.

Understanding this makes it easier to see why juicing would be a benefit because you are taking all those great materials and condensing them into a liquid and a sizable amount that you can consume. As much as I wish I could, it is difficult to eat the same amount of nutrients that you can get from the juice.
Think of it as a boost of natural nutrients which is then being sent around the body to help build, rejuvenate and heal the body. When it comes to juicing for the eyes we should focus on vitamin A.

This vitamin plays an essential role in how eyesight functions and is a key player in changing light into electrical signals that go to the brain to process the image. Caratene, which is what gives carrots their orange colour, is a great natural source of vitamin A. It can also be found in red, orange and yellow vegetables.

Lutein, which can be found in most dark green leafy vegetables, such as kale and spinach, is also essential for the eyes as they produce a yellow pigment in the eye and protects it from UV light.

The yellow area is called the macula, which is why some say getting enough lutein in your diet can help against macular degeneration.

Instead of spending hours searching for which foods are best for eyesight, you will find that in general, green leafy vegetables are best and contain most nutrients for healthy vision. Combine these with carrots, beets and other colorful vegetables for a strong boost of vitamin A and a more desirable taste.
