More watercress magic Here’s what else the peppery green can do for you:

Prevent vision loss!

Watercress boosts levels of two eye-protecting antioxidants— beta- carotene and lutein—by up to 100%, which dramatically lowers risk of cataracts and macular degeneration among those who eat watercress regularly.

Erase wrinkles!

A single two-cup serving of watercress daily delivers such a huge infusion of skin-smoothing nutrients like vitamins C and E, one study found it reduces wrinkles by up to 39% in just one month.
