Computer families can supplement lutein and protect their eyes by eating cauliflower.

Working with computers, watching TV at home and sliding mobile phones at any time, modern people can't live without screens of various sizes. When the eyes are reflected by strong light, dryness, fatigue and blurred vision are easy to occur. In severe cases, it will cause macular degeneration and lead to blindness. Nutritionists say that to prevent macular degeneration caused by overuse of eyes, besides adequate rest and proper eye movement, you can also eat more dark green vegetables such as broccoli, spinach and spinach, and supplement lutein and zeaxanthin.

Huang Peiru nutritionist said that dark green vegetables such as cauliflower are rich in lutein, which is an ingredient to prevent macular aging. (Photo/Huang Zhiwen) Huang Peiru, a nutritionist at Daqian General Hospital, said that lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, which are the main pigments in the macular area of the retina. Because the human body can't make them by itself, it must be supplemented. If lutein and zeaxanthin are lacking, it will lead to age-related macular degeneration and blindness, or cause cataract, astigmatism, presbyopia, pseudomyopia in children, dry eye and fatigue.

Studies have shown that lutein or zeaxanthin supplementation can relieve discomfort under strong light, eliminate eye fatigue and slow down macular degeneration. JAMA, the journal of American Medical Association, also pointed out that taking 6 mg lutein every day can reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Generally speaking, lutein and zeaxanthin are mostly hidden in dark green and orange vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, mustard, sweet potato leaves, carrots and sweet peppers.
