What foods are good for eyesight and hearing?

Hi Kristan,

I don't know of anything that improves hearing but probably the best things for eyes are constituents of green vegetables (and egg yolks) called zeaxanthins and luteins. They have been shown in pretty convincing research to decrease the risk of eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and cataract.

They seem to work by acting as a filter for certain spectrums of light and by their antioxidant activity.

If the antioxidant function ends up being the important effect , then bright coloured berries should be useful also.

Thats great thanks, I read an article on yahoo a few months ago.. all the foods were exotic, your explanation is much easier lol.. thanks!!
