Olive Oil & How It Might Lead To Stronger Eyes

By Katie Arden


There are many ways in which one can improve his or her eye health. Perhaps they should wear sunglasses more often so that they aren't exposed to the Sun's harsh rays during the summer. Maybe a diet consisting of fruits and vegetables can help matters along. On the subject of diet, though, did you know that olive oil may be able to help in regards to eyesight? Even though this may not be a common benefit, it seems like we are moving closer and closer to this.

The Olive Oil Times put up a story that talked about how lutein, as it relates to the oil in question, can actually come into play in ways very few would realize. Lutein is seen as a type of carotenoid or, in other words, an antioxidant not unlike the ones that items like produce and green tea have. If you'd like to talk about the specific products where one can find lutein, leafy greens along the lines of spinach are hard to overlook. As useful as this carotenoid is, though, there is a certain role in the body it can play.

Lutein, as the report detailed, has been a proven components to help reduce macular degeneration in humans. Keep in mind that lutein is able to protect one's retinas and, by proxy, slows down any kind of aging with the eyes seen over the course of time. To put it simply, the eyes are protected for longer periods of time. Even though olive oil may not exactly play into this, on it own, there is a bit of science that deserves to be looked into by those who are enthusiasts of said oil.

A group of researchers at the University of Jan were able to extract the lutein from seaweed before bringing into into the olive oil. Keep in mind, though, that natural composition was emphasized, which I'm sure will be supported by various authorities, Unaprol included. Keep in mind that, in order for lutein to be added without the oil being changed in terms of color or taste, a year and a half was needed for research. However, it seems like that span of time was well-spent.

One has to wonder if the potential in question will be realized, though. As stated earlier, there are quite a few ways for sight and overall eye health to be preserved and I'd like to think that this type of oil could be tailored to help in this regard. What caught my attention, though, was the fact that this oil's properties were not exactly changed when lutein was integrated. Natural composition is crucial to this product and I am glad to see that very little had to be sacrificed.
