bacteria. Blueberries also have some antibiotic properties which add to this effect.
Vision Problems
Blueberries
Blueberries have the potential to slow down visual loss and prevent or delay age related ocular problems like macular degeneration and cataract due to their high levels of antioxidants including Carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin), Flavonoids (resveritrol, quercetin), vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin A, selenium, zinc and phosphorus, which are very beneficial to ocular health.
Carrots
The beta-carotene in carrots helps to protect against macular degeneration and the development of senile cataracts. Studies have found that people who eat the plenty of carrots have a much lower risk of macular degeneration than those who eat very little.
Tomato
Tomatoes can improve your vision. The vitamin A that tomatoes provide can improve vision and help prevent eye conditions such as night blindness and macular degeneration. A deficiency in vitamin A contributes to the development of night blindness. A one cup serving of fresh tomatoes provides 30% of the daily value of vitamin A.
Wrinkles
Papaya
Papayas are a great source of antioxidant vitamin C, vitamin E and carotenoids, nutrients which can help protect your skin against free radicals known to cause damage that leads to wrinkles and signs of aging.
