6. Healthy Vision

Tomatoes contain several nutrients required for healthy eyes. The antioxidants lutein, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and lycopene protect eyes from UV radiation and reduce the risk of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. Vitamin E helps maintain the inner lining of the retina, and vitamin A reinforces healthy structures within the eye. Both vitamins are needed for healthy eyesight and night vision.
