NSV: My eyes love my healthy food.

My opthamologist did a test this morning to measure the pigments in my eyes that protect against macular degeneration. She said mine are much higher than average, and she can tell I eat a lot of leafy greens and colorful produce!

No vitamins needed; no worries about my future eye health. This is especially important because I'm a Type I diabetic. So many reasons besides weight to eat well. :glasses:

    That's so awesome!! You're absolutely right; there are many other benefits to healthy eating than just weight loss/maintenance. My body just plain feels good when I eat a variety of produce. By the way, I love your ticker photo! I see it in the forums now and again and admire it every time!! :flowerforyou:
