In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, host Jim Kwik interviews Dr. William Li, a physician and scientist, about the connection between diet, vision, and brain health. Dr. Li explains angiogenesis and how healthy blood vessels are crucial for both vision and cognitive function. He discusses foods and nutrients that can protect vision and potentially reverse vision loss, emphasizing the importance of plant-based foods and specific compounds like zeaxanthin, lutein, and ellagic acid.
