Do you know what the effect of marigold flower lutein?
Lutein is a natural pigment, also known as carotenoids and nucleus, which are mainly found in some green plants and vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, lettuce and other foods. Its main function is to protect the eyes and improve vision.
Six effects of lutein for the eyes
Protecting the retina and ensuring clear vision Lutein is a good antioxidant that prevents the retina from oxidizing when it absorbs light; it also protects the tiny blood vessels of the eye and maintains good blood circulation.
1. Protect the retina and ensure clear vision
Lutein is a good antioxidant that prevents the retina from oxidizing when it absorbs light; it also protects the tiny blood vessels of the eye and maintains good blood circulation.
2. improve vision
Lutein is a very strong antioxidant that helps to filter out blue light, reduce chromatic aberration, and make vision more accurate.
3. Prevention of glaucoma
Lutein can reduce the oxidative strength of ocular globulin, and the higher the intake, the lower the incidence of glaucoma.
4. delay the occurrence of cataracts
Lutein is the only carotenoid with crystals that can enhance the antioxidant capacity of crystals, resist the damage of sunlight and free radicals, and delay or prevent the occurrence of cataracts.
5. prevention of high myopia sequelae
High myopia is prone to retinal detachment, stagnant water, floating mosquitoes, etc., and even lead to permanent blindness. Supplementing enough lutein can make the eyes have enough nutrients to reduce the incidence of lesions.
6. reduce macular degeneration, lesions
Macular degeneration is the main cause of blindness in the elderly. Tests have shown that lutein can help improve vision in elderly patients with degenerative macular disease.
Other effects of lutein
1. anti-oxidation
Lutein can inhibit the activity of reactive oxygen species and prevent the destruction of normal cells by reactive oxygen species. Secondly, lutein can protect the body from damage through physical or chemical action and enhance the body's immunity.
2. anti-cancer effect
Lutein inhibits a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, and skin cancer. Ingestion of lutein in the diet can not only inhibit cancer but also prevent tumorigenesis.
Lutein has the function of protecting eyesight and relieving eye fatigue. When the body lacks lutein, it will cause macular degeneration, which will lead to blurred vision. Timely supplementation of leaf yellow can quickly relieve eye fatigue and improve Dry eyes, eye pain, photophobia and so on.
When the human eye is exposed to ultraviolet light or blue light, it will produce a lot of free radicals, causing diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration in the eyes. Lutein can protect the eyes against some light glare and increase the resistance of the eyes. Oxidizing, reducing UV and blue light damage to the eyes.
In addition to its protective effect on the eyes, edible lutein also enhances immunity, removes free radicals from the body, reduces damage to cells by free radicals, enhances cell activity and function, and enhances constitution.
