3 eye-healthy soups to eat regularly

Quang Minh |

Here are 3 eye-healthy soups recommended by experts to be included in the weekly menu.

bone stewed carrot soup

Carrots are considered a "golden" food for the eyes because they contain a lot of beta-caroten, a precursor to vitamin A.

According to research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, vitamin A plays an essential role in the formation of cadence pigmentation rhodopsin, which helps the eyes see clearly in low light and prevents goosebumps.

bone carrot soup not only provides beta-caroten but also supplements collagen and calcium from stewed bones, helping to improve corneal health.

When cooking, add a little olive oil or sesame oil to help absorb carotenoids better, because this nutrient dissolves in fat.

Eat carrot soup 2-3 times a week, especially for children, the elderly or people with signs of eye strain due to long periods of working at a computer.

Spinach soup with shrimp

Malabar spinach is a familiar vegetable in Vietnamese meals, but few people know that it contains a lot of lutein and zeaxanthin, two important antioxidant compounds concentrated in the golden spot of the eye.

A diet rich in lutein and zeaxanthin helps reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by up to 25%, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly.

Combining Malabar spinach with shrimp, a natural source of protein and zinc, also helps support eye tissue regeneration and improve visual function. A study in the Journal of Ophthalmology shows that zinc helps enhance the effectiveness of vitamin A in protecting the retina.

You should eat shrimp spinach soup twice a week to supplement eye nutrients and increase overall resistance.

Red pumpkin soup with green beans

Pumpkin has long been known as a food rich in vitamin A, lutein, zinc and the antioxidant polyphenol.

Green beans are rich in B vitamins and flavonoids that help reduce inflammation, which are very beneficial for people with dry eyes or easily irritated eyes.

A diet rich in vitamin A and zinc helps slow the progression of cataracts and protect retina function. Polyphenols in pumpkin also have the effect of reducing oxidative stress, the main factor causing eye aging.

Green bean pumpkin soup is sweet and easy to eat, especially suitable in the summer to both cool and nourish the eyes.
