Protecting our eyes is something we should all be concerned about, especially as we age. From cataract development to macular degeneration, age-related eye problems are a significant health problem around the world. You can better protect your eyes from these conditions by adding more persimmons to your diet. Persimmons contain B complex vitamins like zeaxanthin that are directly associated with eye health. Ramp up your intake of persimmon and you ramp up your intake of those healthful B vitamins. A fun way to enjoy persimmon is to slice them and add them to a cup of frozen vanilla yogurt with a sprinkling of cinnamon.
