Some of my earliest memories are of summers with my grandparents, in New Delhi. I spent long, scorching months drinking lassi, playing cricket, and helping my grandparents find ripe mangoes at roadside markets. Then I’d return to the U.S., my English rusty from disuse, and go months or years without seeing them. At some point, my India trips started to feel like snapshots of loss.

When talking about nutrition and health, we often focus on obvious benefits we can put a number on, such as maintaining an ideal weight or reducing our blood pressure. These standard health improvements are easy to recognize, but it’s also true that the right food choices can offer less obvious benefits, such as helping preserve the quality of our vision at all ages. Mona Kaleem, M.D., an ophthalmologist at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine, has some recommendations on foods and nutrients to target in your diet if you’re concerned about eye health.

At precisely 12 p.m., a tray of food was delivered to Nancy McKinnon on day nine of her stay at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge.This day, the tray contained a fajita bowl with sides of guacamole, salsa and sour cream. For dessert, a homemade peanut butter cup.That’s a lot better, in her opinion, than a few months ago, when the tray held hot dogs, macaroni and cheese and soda – like “stuff you pick up at the gas station,” said McKinnon, a 66-year-old from Denham Springs who works remotely managing a plumbing company.
