HEALTHY eyes depend on a wide range of food and minerals. Here are the vitamins you want to maintain a good vision

Vitamin A. It may protect membranes in the eye against oxidative damage and is thought to have a role in the fixing of cells which have been hurt. Foods with Vitamin An are liver, dairy products and eggs.

Potatoes in Britain, everyone eats 207lb of this flexible vegetable every year and surveys suggest two-thirds of us believe - in the case of the jacket spud at least - that it qualifies as one of our endorsed ‘five portions of fruit and vegetables a day ‘. amazingly, it does not, according to the govt at least.
