Make sure you get your leafy greens...

Dark green leafy vegetables are packed with lutein. A brain antioxidant, lutein is a major carotenoid concentrated in the brain and the eyes.

Increasing the amount of greens, such as kale, in our diet can be a beneficial way to improve—and maintain—the health of our brain and eyes.
