Did you know black
beans are high in fiber?
- A diet high in fiber is an eye healthy diet and helps reduce your risk for AMD.
Dietary fiber is exists in two forms: soluble fiber and
insoluble fiber. Black beans are a source of soluble fiber. Some other sources
of soluble fiber are oatmeal, barley, citrus and strawberries. Sources of
insoluble fiber are cereal, cabbage, carrots and brussel sprouts.
Foods that are high in fiber can help to reduce your risk
for cardiovascular disease and macular degeneration. This is because high-fiber
foods have tend to have a low glycemic index. On the contrary foods with a high glycemic
index like white bread and foods high in sugar can increase your risk of AMD
and cataracts.

salads and soups! Try them in our Eyefoods Black Bean and Mango Salad for a
