Who knew drinking Bigelow Tea could be good for your eyes, as well as your taste buds!
Bigelow Tea’s Wild Blueberry Acai Tea has vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. The antioxidants, studies say, supply the missing electron needed to balance the free radical, so the cell is neutralized and unable to cause damage and serious injury to healthy cells and tissue. Antioxidants work to protect cells and bodies from inflammation, degenerative diseases, cancer and macular degeneration.
In a recent study from the Netherlands, Vitamins C and E, along with Beta Carotene and antioxidants appeared to reduce the risk of macular degeneration. Of course, good lifestyle habits can also help keep your eyes in tip-top shape. Health experts suggest wearing sunglasses, regular exercise, and eating the right foods.
Suggested good eating habits:
- Carbohydrates with a low glycemic index
- “Good for you” Fats – monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, that lower disease risk.
- Proteins that are low in fat and include lots of cold water fish
- Fish Oil
- Foods with a high concentration of zeaxanthin
- Lutein/carotenoid (a powerful antioxidant)
