GO FISH FOR HEALTHY EYES

Eating fish is important to the health of your eyes because fish contain theomega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. In the eye, DHA and EPA have an important role in vision and help decrease inflammation. Researchers have found that eating cold-water fish has protective effects against age-related macular degeneration, cataracts and dry eye syndrome.

The most effective way to get DHA and EPA into your diet is to eat cold-water fish that are high in these omega-3 fatty acids and also low in contaminants. Wild Alaskan salmon, sardines, rainbow trout, and mackerel are all excellent choices.

This delicious salmon dish makes a great weeknight dinner. Its vibrant, bright presentation also makes it a hit at dinner parties. If you are dining outdoors, don't forget to wear your sunglasses!
