You may be aware of the potential benefits of Vitamins C and E in helping to reduce the risk of cataracts, but you may not have heard of Lutein or Zeaxanthin. Scientists have been studying their potential benefits for years.
These two carotenoids are commonly found in vegetables such as spinach, kale and corn. While more research is needed, several links suggest that high intake of food rich in Lutein and Zeaxanthin can reduce the risk of age-related muscular degeneration(AMD) and cataracts, which are the leading causes of blindness in the world.
In addition to a proper diet, a healthy regimen should include regular visits to your eye doctor, and of course, regular medical cheackups, no smoking and routine exercise.
