Eyes & How They Might Benefit From Olive Oil

By Katie Arden


When it comes to eye health, it's clear that certain steps can be taken in the right direction. These include - but are not limited to - protection against the Sun and the proper diet composed of copious different fruits and veggies. Even though methods like these can prove to be helpful, what about the usage of olive oil as it relates to the strength of one's eyes? While you might not have associated these ideas in tandem, there's more truth to said tandem than you might have realized.

According to a report on the Olive Oil Times, it seems like a study was done with this product being helped by a component called lutein. For those who aren't in the know, lutein is a carotenoid that acts as, more or less, an antioxidant for the body to benefit from. Some of the greatest sources of lutein are foods which are both leafy and green, so spinach and lettuce fall in line with this. However, my interest was focused on lutein and what function it serves in the body.

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.

Researchers from the University of Jan took the lutein content from seaweed and brought into olive oil. It's important to note that products like these should remain intact for natural effect, which is what companies like Unaprol can attest to. However, it's been said that it took these researchers about a year and a half to come up with a process that doesn't alter this product's taste or color. The fact that this was done shows that there is potential behind this study.

It's clear that there is quite a bit of potential to be had with this type of method. I want to believe that there are many ways for overall health - whether it's related to the eyes or not - to be maintained and this type of oil more than deserves to be noted. The fact that the integration of lutein did not change this product's taste or appearance is uplifting, to say the least. It shows that this type of oil can still be as healthy as ever while bringing something extra to the table.
