Malabar spinach (Basella alba or Basella rubra) offers several benefits for eye health due to its rich nutritional profile. Here are the key ways it supports vision:

1. Rich in Vitamin A

  • Malabar spinach is a great source of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.
  • Vitamin A is essential for good vision, preventing night blindness and reducing the risk of dry eyes and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

2. High in Lutein and Zeaxanthin

  • These are powerful antioxidants that protect the eyes from harmful blue light and oxidative stress.
  • They help in preventing cataracts and AMD, which are common causes of vision loss.

3. Contains Vitamin C and E

  • Vitamin C helps in reducing the risk of cataracts and supports healthy blood vessels in the eyes.
  • Vitamin E protects eye cells from free radical damage.

4. Hydrates and Nourishes the Eyes

  • Malabar spinach has a high water content, helping in maintaining moisture in the eyes and reducing dry eye syndrome.

5. Supports Overall Eye Health

  • It contains iron, folate, and magnesium, which improve blood circulation to the eyes, ensuring they receive adequate oxygen and nutrients.

How to Consume Malabar Spinach for Eye Health?

  • Add it to smoothies, soups, stir-fries, or salads for maximum benefits.
  • Cook it lightly to preserve its nutrients.

Regular consumption of Malabar spinach can contribute to maintaining clear vision and overall eye health.
