Quotes About Macular

In the eye, there is a type of junk that accumulates in the back of the retina that eventually causes us to go blind. It's called age-related macular degeneration.

Nutritional research on macular degeneration has shown that consumption of lutein and zeaxanthin, but not beta-carotene, is associated with a reduced risk for macular degeneration. People who ate the most lutein and zeaxanthin had a 57 percent lower risk for macular degeneration than people who ate the least. The three top sources of lutein are kale, collard greens, and spinach.
