#seniorhealthtips#seniorvellness#senioreyehealth Your eyes may be giving you warning signs while you sleep — blurred vision, fading colors, halos around lights, difficulty reading at night — and most seniors mistake these signals for “normal aging.” But new ophthalmology research reveals something powerful: specific iron-rich foods, when eaten the right way, can help repair the retina, protect the optic nerve, and even slow or reverse early cataract formation naturally. In this Health Signal video, we uncover three science-backed, iron-rich foods that support eye repair during sleep: 🥬 Spinach — rich in iron and lutein to protect the macula and support retinal repair 🍲 Lentils — powerful for improving oxygen delivery to the optic nerve and reducing glaucoma risk 🎃 Pumpkin Seeds — a compact source of iron, zinc, vitamin E, and omega-3s for total eye restoration You’ll learn: ✔ Why iron deficiency silently damages retinal cells ✔ How low iron levels raise glaucoma and cataract risk ✔ The correct way to prepare these foods for maximum absorption ✔ Which foods and drinks block iron uptake ✔ When to eat these foods so eye repair happens overnight These foods are not miracle cures, but research confirms that consistent, correct use can slow vision decline, support retinal health, and protect against cataracts and glaucoma — naturally and safely.
