16. Prevents cataracts
Just like vitamin E can prevent the development of age related macular degeneration, it can also prevent the development of cataracts. Research has found that adding vitamin E to your diet can significantly delay the formation of cataracts.
Cataracts form as a result of damage to the healthy cells of the eyes, which is caused by free radicals. Also like macular degeneration, cataracts can eventually lead to blindness. Eating a diet that is rich in vitamin E foods, or taking a supplement, can help reduce your risk for cataracts.
