Do you ever think about your eye health? When many of us think of taking care of our eyes, we think it means going to our yearly or bi-yearly eye exam. Honestly, I pretty much thought the same until I started doing a bit more reading on our quest to live healthier. Like our teeth, our eyes can be one of the first signs of illness, showing diabetes and other serious health issues before we even have symptoms. These underlying health issues (or the chance of them) are one reason I have been trying to learn more about my eyes and what nutritious; natural foods can help me take better care of your eyes. When I learned that a new book was coming out – Eyefoods: The Complete Eye Health and Nutrition Guide by Laurie Capogna, OD – I couldn’t wait for my copy to arrive and start reading!
Eyefoods: The Complete Eye Health and Nutrition Guide: What Is It
Looking for a way to improve your eyes and your overall health? If so, we think you will love Eyefoods: The Complete Eye Health and Nutrition Guide. Here is what the publisher has to say about this new book:
A groundbreaking plan for improving eye health and for slowing and preventing eye disease, from a highly respected optometrist who is the founder of Eye Wellness.
The average American adult spends around 10 hours a day looking at light-emitting screens, which can negatively impact eye health over time.
The estimated annual economic burden of vision loss, eye diseases and vision disorders in the U.S. is $139 billion, with 36.5 million Americans suffering from eye-related diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and cataracts. Thankfully, new research demonstrates that certain diet choices can help to support optimal eye health.
In Eyefoods®: The Complete Eye Health and Nutrition Guide, optometrist Dr. Laurie Capogna offers a groundbreaking plan for improving eye health and slowing or preventing common eye disorders.

Eyefoods: The Complete Eye Health and Nutrition Guide: Our Thoughts
As someone who has been trying to live an overall healthier lifestyle, I was pretty excited to start reading when Eyefoods: The Complete Eye Health and Nutrition Guide arrived. Like any foody, I will freely admit, I started checking out the recipes in the book before I even started the reading the health information. While I knew there would be some recipes, I wasn’t expecting so many that weren’t just healthy, but easy to make and filled with delicious ingredients. Best of all, all the recipes are things that are doable for busy people on the go, like us! Along with the yummy recipes, there is a fantastic chart that I want to copy and laminate telling you the number of servings of different vegetables and oils you need each week for your eye health.
After the foodie part of me was appeased by going through the recipes, I got into the nitty gritty of this book. Over half the book goes over reasons to focus on your eye health, common health issues, and why an eye health diet is something everyone should be following, even if they are on a specialty diet (they go into some of the most common in the book). Overall, I was extremely impressed with Eyefoods: The Complete Eye Health and Nutrition Guide and recommend it to anyone who is trying to make their health a priority, especially since all of the advice in this book can fit any lifestyle!
