Foods That May Help Keep Eyes Healthy

Salmon is also good for the heart because those same omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce inflammation and keep cholesterol in check. The American Heart Association suggests you eat fatty fish at least two times each week.

Eat baked salmon at dinner, or use salmon chunks in salads or salmon patties. Salmon can also be served raw as in sushi or sashimi, or smoked with crackers.
