Strengthen your eye health now!
You can significantly promote your eye health through optimized nutrition and nutrient supply.
The holidays are over, gloomy days, less movement…
Your eyes need a good supply of valuable nutrients right now.
Why?
There are aggressive chemical compounds in the human body (so-called free radicals). These are waste products of our metabolism that are constantly being created in every cell of the human body.
What makes them so dangerous?
Free radicals form further chemical compounds that alter the metabolism of healthy cells and destroy them from within. This also applies, among other things, to the sensitive retina of your eyes.
What can be done about it?
Ensure a good supply of lutein. This substance has strong antioxidant properties that can scavenge free radicals and protect your cell structures. This reduces oxidative stress.
What contains lutein?
Primarily green vegetables such as: kale, spinach, broccoli, etc. The Roman Wagner lutein table helps you select valuable types of vegetables.
Foods and their lutein content
The table below provides an overview of foods and their lutein content. It is intended to show the quantities of each food that must be consumed to cover the daily lutein requirement of 10 mg.
Note: The vitamin concentration of foods can vary significantly—due to excessively long storage, the use of preservatives, nutrient-poor soils, or overbreeding.
What else can I do?
As we get older, the metabolism can no longer absorb natural lutein as effectively. Dietary supplements are recommended, especially if the aforementioned foods are not liked or tolerated. Appropriately formulated supplements are also available at the Roman Wagner Centers for Good Vision.
