Wheat germ
germ is great source of vitamin E, another important antioxidant. “What vitamin E does is protect the eyes from free-radical damage,” says Coulson, meaning that it protects cells in the body from oxidation, which can cause deterioration and disease. Vitamin E may also decrease the progression of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. While wheat germ is an easy addition when you’re baking, it can also be sprinkled on oatmeal, yogurt and salads, and mixed with smoothies. “You can even add it to stews,” says Coulson. Almonds, sunflower seeds and hazelnuts are also good sources of
vitamin E .
