How are your eyes?

Do you see what I see? How's your vision? Did you know that vitamin A is abundant in watercress. One bowl of this vegetable gives you 42% of the recommended daily value of the vitamin. Watercress, when consumed on a regular basis, can help aid in macular degeneration, and cataracts.

There's two types of Vitamin A, Preformed, which is found in animal products, and Pro-Vitamin A which is in watercress and some other plant based foods. Not only does Vitamin A help your eyes, it also helps form and maintain healthy skin, teeth, skeletal and soft tissue. It also is known as retinol and produces the pigments in the retina of the eye. Vitamin A especially helps promote good vision in low light. Eat your watercress to keep your body, and eyes, happy and healthy.
