A half cup of cooked Swiss chard
provides a huge amount of both lutein and
zeaxanthin, supplying 10 mg each.
These plant chemicals, known as carotenoids, protect your retinas from the
damage of aging, according to Harvard researchers. That's because both
nutrients, which are actually pigments, appear to accumulate in your retinas,
where they absorb the type of shortwave light rays that can damage your eyes. So
the more lutein and zeaxanthin you eat, the better your internal eye protection
will be.
In addtion,Broccoli contains
lutein and zeaxanthin (phytonutrient
antioxidants in the carotenoid family),so eating Broccoli is very benefit to the
our body.
