Including yellow fruit and vegetables in diet can boost eyesight, study says

Eating colourful, specifically yellow, fruit and vegetables could help boost both your brain and eyesight, according to a new study.

You may have heard the old wives' tale that including carrots in your diet can help improve your vision in the dark. But there are also other foods you should include if you want to keep your eyes working as well as they possibly can, new research suggests. Fruits and vegetables such as melon, peppers, pumpkin and corn could help your eyes.

These foods include compounds lutein and zeaxanthin which, despite being yellow in colour, is found in leafy greens such as kale and spinach, with the green chlorophyl masking the yellow colour, reports WalesOnline.
