Vitamin A provides a number of wonderful eye health benefits, from minimizing dry eyes to helping to absorb light in the retinal receptors. In addition to improving your eye health, it also supports cell growth and improves the health of the kidneys, heart, and other essential organs. Here are just a few surprising food sources for beneficial Vitamin A.

1. Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatoes are some of the best sources of Vitamin A out of any food, offering a staggering 561% of the recommended daily amount in just one whole potato. Better yet, the delicious sweet potato offers all of its priceless nutrients while adding only 103 calories to your diet. Simply bake one in the oven for a healthy side dish that’s absolutely packed full of A vitamins.
2. Carrots. This other favorite orange food is equally as rich with Vitamin A. The carrot has been known for its eye health benefits for quite some time, though many people don’t realize that it’s because of the numerous A vitamins inside. One medium carrot offers a full 200% of the recommended daily intake, and it’s a great source of the Vitamins C, K, and B that your body also needs.

For those occasions when you don’t have the time or energy to cook and take-out pizza just won't do, consider Aman's Authentic Indian Cuisine in Norristown. Aman’s has a reputation for some of the best northern Indian food not only in Montgomery County, but in the entire Philadelphia metropolitan area.

The menu features many Indian fare standards, but it also branches out to Indo-Chinese specialties like Manchoorian chicken and Hakka noodles. Reviewers on Yelp and TripAdvisor single out the goat curry for meat-eaters and paneer makhani for vegetarians, both with a side of garlic naan. If you want to sample several items on the menu, stop by for the lunch buffet, which allows you to try a bit of everything for less than you’d spend at a burger joint.

Aman's Authentic Indian Cuisine also offers take-out service if you’re in a rush, plus a rental hall for receptions, parties, and other special events.
