Lutein exist in both animals and plants; it's found in high quantities in the macular part of the eyes while in plants it naturally occurs as yellow pigments (orange-red when in high concentrates) that help the plant to absorb excess blue ray. This hinders above normal withering and thus the plant cells remain undamaged. Research has it that the contributive course Of old-age loss of sight is the diminishing quantity of Lutein in the eyes. As such, continually taking vegetables like Broccoli, kales, spinach, green peas, collards, turnip greens and fruits increase the depleting content and thus improve the optical density of your eye lens or course there are vitamin supllements with lutein.

The Macula

Low lutein and Zeaxanthin compounds in the eye prolong macular degeneration (AMD). What happens is that the eye eventually lacks the power to filter light wavelengths and the aftermath is the direct generation of harmful free-radicals in the retina. Studies further prove that people who take ample amounts of the compound are less susceptible to AMD; a very good reason to start incorporating vegetables into every diet.
