Lutein is an abundant carotenoid found in many fruits and vegetables. Spinach and kale contain the highest levels of lutein. As an antioxidant, lutein may protect the macula tissue from damaging oxidation by filtering blue light. Luten absorbs damaging UV radiation and dissipates it harmlessly. It has been suggested that eating green leafy vegetables, which are rich in lutein may decrease the risk for age related macular degeneration. |
