Quinoa contains Iron. Iron helps keep our red blood cells healthy and is the basis of hemoglobin formation. Iron carries oxygen from one cell to another and supplies oxygen to our muscles to aid in their contraction. Iron increases brain function because the brain takes in about 20% of our blood oxygen. There are many benefits of iron some more of which include neurotransmitter synthesis, regulation of body temperature, aids enzyme activity and energy metabolism. 4. Quinoa contains lysine. Lysine is essential for tissue growth and repair. 5. Quinoa is rich in magnesium. Magnesium helps to relax blood vessels and thereby to alleviate migraines.

Maintain your Vision with Nutrition -food and herbs Adam Schmidt & Tatum ONeal show you how to make a salad with ingredients that benefit the health of your eyes. Kale Vision Salad Recipe and Vision Salad Dressing Goji berries are a nutritional wonder since they contain all of the eye health nutrients and more. Scientists are just beginning to verify what ancient Chinese shamans have practiced for centuries that goji may be nature’s most complete eye health food. Goji berries can be found in The MEGA Way Organic Vegan Protein Shake. Their high antioxidant content is often cited as their best benefit. Turmeric: As far as eye diseases go turmeric is effective for one eye disease in particular: retinitis pigmentosa which is a genetic disease that leads to a buildup of a protein. It causes vision loss and eventual blindness. Turmeric can help prevent the buildup of the protein in the eye, which could drastically slow down progression of the disease. Turmeric can be found in The MEGA Way Organic Vegan Protein Shake. Herbs/Vitamins for Eye Health. I recommend Natures Sunshine Perfect Eyes. It supports the circulatory system. Supports the macular region of the eye and total eye health. Fights free radical damage. Provides 6 mg of lutein per serving. Our eyes are constantly exposed to sunlight and artificial lighting, which can generate free radicals that have harmful effects on ocular cells. After middle age, our natural antioxidant production decreases, and the pigments in our eyes change. Perfect Eyes has been specially formulated with herbs and nutrients that support eye health. The two key ingredients are lutein and N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC). Lutein is an important antioxidant that supports the macular region of the eye. Aging bodies can easily convert NAC into the eye-protecting antioxidant glutathione, making NAC supplementation an important step in protecting the eye from harmful free radical damage and nerve cell damage. Plus Perfect Eyes contains taurine (an amino acid that protects proteins in the eye lens), zinc gluconate and selenium (powerful antioxidants that are particularly beneficial to older individuals) and quercetin and hesperidin (two bioflavonoids that act as antioxidants to protect against toxic damage to the eye).
