Eat Plenty of Fruits & Vegetables For
Better Vision and Improved Eye Health
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.”
