You have guac to be kidding me... avocados are good for your eyes. Avocados are loaded with powerful antioxidants that can protect your eyes. Not only do they increase antioxidant absorption from other foods, they are also high in antioxidants themselves. This includes the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which are incredibly important for eye health. Studies show that avocados are linked to a drastically reduced risk of cataracts and macular degeneration, which are common in older adults. Therefore, over time, indulging in a little extra guacamole will benefit your eyes! July 31st is national avocado day
