Super Nutrient Saves Vision?!?

By Jack Taylor Posted March 12, 2017

Vision loss seems like an inevitable side effect of aging.

As the year tick by, our glasses get thicker and even big road signs can become a real challenge.

But it doesn’t have to be this way — you don’t have to wear coke bottle glasses to keep your eyesight sharp well into your golden years.

You see, according to some groundbreaking research from the journal Optometry, there’s a natural compound that can help keep your peepers working.

It’s called lutein and it’s found in plants like spinach and kale.

And if you’re age 50 or older, lutein could really help your vision out.

Lutein helps fight age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disease that is the leading cause of vision loss for older folks

In fact, lutein is so powerful, it’s been the focus or lots of AMD research, including 20 human trials.

In one of these trials, scientists gave 10 mg of lutein to a folks who were already suffering from AMD and aged 74 years on average.

And after just a year, the researchers found incredible results…

The lutein significantly improved the participant’s vision quality — including sharper vision and better recovery time from light exposures and glares.

This means lutein not only helps improve your vision, it also helps protect your eyes from damaging light exposures, which can speed up the effects of AMD.

Researchers believe that lutein fights macular degeneration because it helps block dangerous blue light (like the type from your computer or phone screens) and reduces the inflammation and damage caused by it.

In fact, lutein is so effective at this, that one study found that taking just 6 mg of lutein daily lead to a 43 percent lower risk for developing macular degeneration.

Lutein is found in many different foods including leafy greens, eggs, peas, Brussel sprouts and corn.

However, you would have to eat a truckload of these foods every day to get anywhere close to a 10mg does.

And that’s why it’s important to supplement you lutein intake. You can find lutein supplements at natural health stores and through online retailers.

Lutein is especially powerful when coupled with zeaxanthin, another powerful antioxidant, so be sure to select a supplement that contains both.
