A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that often occurs in old age. The risk of developing cataracts in old age and losing your eyesight can be significantly reduced at a young age. A healthy and wholesome diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and low saturated fats significantly reduces the risk of cataracts and also has countless other health benefits.

It is best to get into the habit of eating a piece of fresh fruit such as a peach, apple, pear or watermelon after every meal. If you have been eating unhealthily for years, don't despair. Changing your diet immediately is better than not at all.
