Set your sights on eating right

HAVE you ever eaten "with your eyes"? The chances are yes. Apart from odor and taste, the sight of food contributes significantly to our assessment and enjoyment of food. In fact, the glamourised appearance of a particular food item often becomes the single most powerful advertisement, especially on social media, to the extent that it becomes commonly called "food pornography".

So eating with our eyes is certainly a true fact, underlining the importance of our sense of sight in the quality of life.

But have you ever thought of eating "for your eyes"? Eating to see well follows universal dietary principles, which means having a varied, broad-based diet and preferably fresh food from uncontaminated sources. In addition to this, several unique foods apply to visual health.
