“Go Nuts” Over the Holidays to Helps Your Vision
Until I read an article on Healthline.com/nutrition/9-healthy-nuts, I had no clue how healthy it was to eat 1 oz. Pistachios a day. They are rich in LUTEIN & ZEAXANTHIN - the eye healthy plant compound found in all eye vitamins and listed second of the 9 healthiest nuts you can eat. They are also good for weight loss BUT only if you limit yourself to 1 oz. a day. Because I’m guilty of eating too many at a time, I like to buy them in the shell so it takes longer to eat them. SOMETIMES that works! What other foods are rich in Lutein & Zeaxanthin that surprised you? Let’s get the word out! Linda Hoopes, Advocate maculardegeneration.net
thanks for this tip. I didn't know this about pistachios! I'll be buying some today. My doctor also recommends brazil nuts for me for their selenium, but no more than one or two a day. Wendy, Advocate. 
One nut per day? for the Brazil nuts my doctor said 2 per day. Any more can exceed the recommended daily intake of selenium. Wendy, Patient Leader.

Green kiwis are surprisingly rich in lutein, too. Good to know! Thanks
Pistachios will lower your A1C number too. Mine is 5. Wow ,never been that low.
