Eat Plenty Of Fruits and
Vegetables For Better Vision
The nutritive Carotenoids found in green leafy vegetables and colored
fruits, have been found to increase visual performance and may
prevent age-related eye diseases, according to a study in the
Journal of Food Science, published by the Institute of Food Technologists.
Authors from the University of Georgia compiled the results of multiple
studies on the effects of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin on visual
performance. These carotenoids play an important role in human vision,
including a positive impact on the retina.
After reviewing the various studies, the authors concluded that macular
pigments, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin do have an effect on visual
performance.
Lutein and zeaxanthin can reduce disability and discomfort from glare,
enhance contrast, and reduce photostress recovery times. They can also
reduce glare from light absorption and increase the visual range.
The research team noted that the study of the effects of lutein and
zeazanthin are important because "it is clear that they could potentially
improve vision through biological means. For example, a study conducted
in 2008 suggests that the pigments protect the retina and lens and perhaps
even help prevent age-related eye diseases such as macular degeneration
and cataract."
