Chef Robert Irvine Interview On Nutrition & Eye Health
A few mornings ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing Chef Robert Irvine. Some of you may recognize him as the celebrity chef and host of the Food Network® hit show Restaurant: Impossible. We discussed the correlation between nutrition and eye health and how a lot of us rarely think that one of the results of poor nutrition is eye damage.
Many of us know that carrots are good for the eyes, but other super foods such as broccoli, spinach, salmon, blueberries, kiwi, nuts, and mangoes also benefit eye health. With March being National Nutrition Month in March, it is the ideal time to remember to include eye healthy foods as part of your overall nutritious diet, so that you can see your best to enjoy all of the “sights” in your life!
In our interview, Chef Robert Irvine discussed the top foods and recipes that benefit eye health, steps you and your family can take to live a more healthy lifestyle to help prevent conditions like diabetes, insider information on the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival taking place in Miami from February 22nd-24th, and more. Check out what Chef Irvine has to say about the foods we put into our bodies and how they affect our eye health in the following video interview:

I am a bit, since I didn’t think too much about it before.
As I age, I become more interested. I have hypertensive retinopathy in one eye so I need to be concerned.

I believe that nutrition plays a big part in eye health.
It is something I have been concerned about before and I have added lots of Omega because of that concern.

Yes, I am. I have terrible eyes and I want to be able to see as long as possible.
I’m concerned because I have eye issues that run in the family and so far,, I have been unaffected.
Absolutely! I have astigmatism and Im near sighted so I sure don’t need to make mine worse!

ALL of our health issues can be affected by diet.

I’m concerned about nutrition in general, but don’t know much about its connection to eye health (other than mom always told me to eat my carrots…). it’s definitely something I’d like to know more about.
I am concerned about nutrition and eye health, but I have known about the nutrional values on many foods to help keep eyes healthy
I have been conserned since my oldest son(now 13yrs old) who was born 26 weeks premature developed ROP( retinopothy of prematurity ) due to needing oxygen for 11 weeks. At 12 weeks old he had laser surgery to correct it and didn’t need to get glasses until he was 10 yrs old. Thank you for the giveaway.
Absolutely! My parents and my brother all wear glasses, and I’ve been lucky enough not to need them. I want to do what I can to keep my eyes as healthy as possible!
