Eyes & How They Might Benefit From Olive Oil

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 posted an article that talked about how lutein, in tandem with said oil, can prove to be useful in the long term. By definition, lutein is seen as a carotenoid in the body; basically, it's an antioxidant that is able to help the body as far as health is concerned. For those who are curious as to where exactly lutein can be taken from, think about leafy and green products along the lines of lettuce. As far as where exactly lutein can come into play, there are a few examples to note.

According to the article, lutein has reportedly been shown to help in regards to macular degeneration. What this means is that it's partially because of lutein that the retinas of one's eyes can actually be protected for longer, meaning that eye-related problems do not happen as early in life. With all of these points in mind, one has to wonder where exactly olive oil comes into the picture. Even though lutein isn't a common component of said oil, there is still a bit to go over.

A team of individuals located within the University of Jan took it upon themselves to take the lutein associated with seaweed before bringing into olive oil. Before anything else, I'm glad to see that natural composition - a key point supported by companies the likes of Unaprol - wasn't exactly sacrificed. In fact, it's worth noting that neither the oil's taste or appearance was changed because of said integration. In order for this to have been seen, though, the researchers needed a year and a half to make it happen.

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.
