These protective effects of lutein

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, people’s health problems contrary to social progress are becoming more and more serious, especially vision health. It is not that we want to put a cap on electronic products that hurts vision, but that the vision health problems caused by people’s incorrect eye habits in the electronic information age are becoming more and more serious.

After myopia, whether it is from the protection of the eyes, or nutritional needs, we need to better protect the myopic eyes. Here we present the —— lutein nutrient. Lutein is a substance found in the macular area of the eye, which accounts for more than 60% of the nutrients in the entire eye. It has blue light filtering and antioxidant effects, and is our “invisible sunglasses”. It provides our eyes with effective nutrients to prevent and reduce the aggravation of myopia after we become nearsighted.

Lutein

Also known as carotenoids, phytolutein,

It is a good antioxidant.

Lutein is the main pigment in the macular area of the retina of the human eye, and a lack of this element can cause vision impairment and even blindness.

Studies have shown that the help of lutein on the eyes can mainly be reflected in the following aspects:

Vision protection

Lutein is a fat-soluble vitamin whose absorption spectrum contains near blue-violet light and helps the retina of the eye protect against ultraviolet light.

For the eyes, lutein is an important functioning antioxidant. Adding a large amount of lutein to the human body helps to maintain visual durability, improve visual response time, and reduce visual damage.

For the nearsighted, the supplement of lutein can delay the increase of the degree of myopia, and the regular use of lutein can effectively prevent the damage of computer radiation to the human body.

Relieve visual fatigue

Modern 3C dependence is high, so the eyes often appear acid, numbness, swelling, pain and other discomfort, these symptoms are on behalf of the eyes issued by the distress signal, so every 30 minutes after focusing on the eyes, please rest 5 to 10 points, so as not to cause accelerated aging of the eyes.

In a study on visual fatigue, it was found that taking lutein (in the experiment, the subjects did two hours of text proofreading, and then observed the reaction after taking lutein) did reduce the fatigue discomfort and stress index caused by frequent eye use.

Improved visual adaptation

Disability glare refers to the temporary loss of visual accuracy caused by uncontrolled light such as high intensity. Glare is not only easy to cause eye fatigue, affect reading and learning, but also may cause traffic accidents.

In addition, Photo stress Recovery refers to the time it takes for the eye to return to normal vision after exposure to bright light, and aging and abnormal visual cells can lead to increased recovery time.

Several studies have found that supplementation with lutein and zeaxanthin (12mg daily for 6-12 months) can significantly increase macular pigment density, in addition to improving the transient glare disabling phenomenon caused by bright light, and help reduce the time required for light stimulation recovery.

Reduce the incidence of late macular degeneration

Macular degeneration is currently the main cause of blindness in the elderly over 60 years old, and the main cause is that macular degeneration produces hidden knots. As macular degeneration is the main gathering point of light and the area with the most dense photoreceptor cells, once the lesion occurs, it is easy to produce blurred vision, object distortion, central shadow and other symptoms, which may even lead to blindness.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) tracked 4,000 people aged 55-80 with macular disease for five consecutive years from 2006 to 2012, which is the largest, largest number, longest and most credible trial ever conducted. It is called AREDS-2 (Phase II Clinical Study of Age-Related Eye Diseases).

It was reported that the experimental group taking FloraGlo patented lutein 10mg plus zeaxanthin 2mg reduced the risk of advanced macular degeneration by 25% compared with the control group AREDS-1 (Phase I clinical study of age-related eye diseases).

The study, published in JAMA(Journal of the American Medical Association), concluded that taking lutein plus zeaxanthin had a significant effect on delaying vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration.

In addition to the above benefits of lutein,

It also plays the following important role in its own system:

Anticancer effect

With medical efforts, cancer has become a curable disease, but the high incidence and recurrence rate is still a threat to everyone.

As early as 2003, the World Health Organization pointed out that up to 80% of cancers are related to the environment and lifestyle, in other words, cancer can not only rely on medical technology to prevent the occurrence of cancer, it is important to seriously improve diet and lifestyle.

In a study of prostate cancer in men, a higher concentration of carotenoids (including lutein) in the blood was found to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 55%.

Another study in women also pointed out that women who consumed more lutein in their diet also did reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer by 55%, so both experiments also verified the excellent anti-cancer effect of lutein.

Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases

Cardiovascular and related metabolic abnormalities, can be said to be a large number of health problems, people with metabolic abnormalities, from the risk of cardiovascular disease is 3 times higher than the average person, related cardiovascular risk factors include: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar.

A large systematicreview of the literature (71 studies with 387,000 participants) and meta-analysis showed that those with higher intake of leaf yellow or blood lutein had higher concentrations. Helps to achieve the following states (data found after mathematical analysis) :

12 percent lower risk of coronary heart disease, a atherosclerotic disease of the cardiovascular arteries that can lead to angina pectoris and myocardial infarction;

18% lower risk of stroke;

25% lower risk of metabolic syndrome (a health problem that includes obesity, blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid abnormalities).

The underlying mechanism is believed to be related to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of lutein, which are one of the main causes of cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders.

Slow skin aging

According to a 2007 study in the Journal of Pharmacological and Biophysical Research, lutein, whether taken orally or applied, was found to improve skin’s water retention and elasticity, as well as prevent cell oxidation and slow aging. What’s more, it also protects the skin from UV rays and air pollutants.

Lutein, which is so important for the eyes and the body, cannot be synthesized in the body itself. What then? We need to supplement it in some way. There are two common methods:

Eat more green leafy vegetables

Lutein is mainly found in green leafy vegetables, the greener the leaves, the higher the content of lutein, such as broccoli, green broccoli, spinach, asparagus, green lettuce, etc., are rich in lutein. As well, carrots, yellow corn, egg yolks, in addition to fruits such as kiwi, blueberries, etc., are a good choice.

Take lutein supplements

Lutein is now purified and made into tablets or oral liquid products on the market, and ingestion in this way is more direct. However, the key is to ensure quality.

In the choice of lutein supplement products, give you two tips: 1. To choose a food safety certification brand business products; 2. Choose the suitable content (the national limit of daily use of lutein ester ≤12 mg).

Up to the elderly, down to young children, people of all ages can supplement lutein, for our eyes to supplement nutrition ~
