If you’ve noticed that your vision is getting blurry at night or that your eyes feel tired and “heavy” after looking at a screen, your body is likely crying out for specific antioxidants. This trio of Blueberries, Lemon, and Carrots creates what many call “High-Definition” vision support.
While carrots provide the foundation, the addition of blueberries adds a layer of protection that can help improve night vision and peripheral clarity.
The Power of the Trio
Blueberries (The Night Vision Booster): Blueberries are packed with anthocyanins. During WWII, it was famously claimed that pilots ate bilberries (a close relative) to improve their night vision. These compounds help the eyes adapt to darkness more quickly and protect the retina from oxidative stress.
Carrots (The Cornea Protector): As the primary source of beta-carotene, carrots ensure your cornea (the clear front surface of your eye) stays lubricated and healthy. It’s the “fuel” your eyes need to function.
Lemon (The Capillary Strengthener): The Vitamin C in lemons strengthens the tiny, delicate blood vessels in the eyes. Good blood flow is essential for moving nutrients into the eye and flushing out the metabolic “trash” that causes cloudiness.
The “HD-Vision” Daily Recipe
This recipe is designed to be highly bioavailable, meaning your body can use the nutrients almost immediately.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries (Frozen works too!)
2 Large Carrots
1/2 Lemon (Peeled)
1/4 cup Water (Optional, for blending)
Instructions:
Juice or Blend: If you have a juicer, run all three through. If using a blender, blend with a little water until smooth.
Strain (Optional): If you blended it, you can strain it for a smooth juice, or drink it with the pulp for extra fiber.
The Absorption Hack: Add one teaspoon of Flaxseed Oil or Walnut Oil. Like the nutrients in carrots, the anthocyanins in blueberries are best absorbed when a healthy fat is present.
How to Take It: Drink one small glass 30 minutes before breakfast.
Why This Recipe is Special
Unlike many vision supplements, this drink provides Anthocyanins and Carotenoids together. These two work in “synergy”—the carrots protect the structure of the eye, while the blueberries protect the function and the nerves.
