4. Lutein And Zeaxanthin
The antioxidants Lutein And Zeaxanthin are also important when it comes to fighting macular degeneration. There are certain antioxidants that are extremely beneficial for eye health, and these two are part of that group. They are also really easy to find and may already be a part of your diet. Again, like with other nutrients that are listed here, you just need to add more fruit and vegetables to your diet. But in this particular case, you want to add fruit and vegetables that are brightly colored.
This includes a lot of leafy green vegetables, but it probably also include some of your favorite vegetables as well. For example, adding romaine lettuce and kale can be extremely beneficial. The main way that lutein works is by preventing damage to the eyes from the sun and that directly affects whether or not you are at risk for developing macular degeneration.
