While supplements are suggested, the simplest change is filling the plate with foods rich in lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids. Seasonal greens like spinach, mustard leaves (sarson ka saag), and amaranth are powerful protectors of the retina. Including flaxseeds, walnuts, or a teaspoon of soaked chia seeds daily adds natural omega-3s that reduce inflammation in the delicate eye vessels. These everyday foods act as a natural shield against diabetic eye complications.
