ADD spinach to your egg salad sandwich to boost your
eyesight. SPINACH is a good source of vitamin A and lutein, which
are known to be good for the eyes -- helping to prevent cataracts
and age-related macular degeneration.

Vitamin A and lutein are fat soluble, which means if you eat
spinach with fat -- such as mayonnaise or olive oil -- your body will absorb
these nutrients better.

The eggs in the mayonaise also contain vitamin A and lutein,
giving an extra boost to your eye-protection.

Cooking reduces lutein content, so eating a raw spinach salad
with egg salad will maximise your intake. You could also try a
hard-boiled egg and spinach salad, making sure you add an oil based
dressing to ensure there is maximum absorption of the nutrients.
