Which vitamin maintains the health of our eyes and skin?

Vitamin A (retinol) is excellent for eyesight and skin. It is crucial for good vision as it maintains a clear cornea (the outside covering of the eye). It is a component of rhodopsin, a protein in the eyes that allows seeing in low-light conditions.

Vitamin A prevents wrinkles, sagging of the skin, and premature ageing. It improves skin elasticity, decreases inflammation and acne, reduces the risk of skin cancer, etc.

Foods rich in Vitamin A include sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, mangoes, eggs, cereal, etc.
