Eye health you can see is on your diner plate and in your shopping cart. Carrots are known to be good for the eyes, the same holds true for leafy green vegetables and fruit. University of Georgia scientists report that green leafy vegetables and fruits also may affect vision, and prevent age-related eye disease. This is according to a study in the Journal of Food Science.

Solid Evidence

These foods contain the carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which play an important role in vision and have a positive impact on the retina. Scientists led by Billy R. Hammond, PhD, a professor of neuroscience and experimental psychology at the University of Georgia, said in a review of previous research.

The evidence suggests that lutin and zeaxantine help reduce disability and discomfort from glare, enhance contrast, and reduce photo-stress recovery times, the researchers found. Also, at the same time may increase visual range.

Foods That Heal

Lutein and zeaxznthin are found in kale, spinach and other vegetables. For your health it pays to investigate the power of foods. A food saver isn’t only a way to store food, it is a way to save your life.

Researches write that their review on the effects of lutein and zeaxanthin is important because “it is clear that they could potentially improve vision through biological means.”

They cite a 2008 study that suggests the pigments protect the retina and lens, and may “even help prevent age-related eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataract.”

Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in kale and spinach, among other vegetables. This points to the fact the pharmacy in your garden is the solution and your partner in building health.

New Zealand blackberries contain anthocyannis that help reduce eye fatigue. Plant food can improve the quality of your life.

Overview

From broccoli, Brussels sprouts, to cabbage and sauerkraut the health benefits have out performed any pharmaceuticals. Broccoli and Brussels sprouts have been linked to a lower risk of colorectal, lung and stomach cancer. 

Research from Michigan State University in East Lansing found that those who ate raw or lightly cooked cabbage and sauerkraut more than three times a week were 72 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than those who had 1.5 or fewer servings.

Seeing

Nature provides stable and potent antioxidant protection in the right concentration. The bioavailability of these compounds provides better absorptions. With so many conventional treatment failures, the natural protection of nature’s formulas provides phenomenal results. Seeing is believing and we will put the evidence in plain sight, so everyone gets it.
