Eating adequate amounts of vitamin A prevents the development of night blindness and may help slow the age-related decline of your eyesight. Adequate vitamin A intake from whole plant foods may reduce your risk of certain cancers, including Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as well as cervical, lung, and bladder cancer.
