9. Eye Health
Lutein and zeaxanthin are powerful eye-protecting nutrients. Eyesight deterioration is one of the most common side effects of aging. Fortunately, there are a number of nutrients in the diet that can help prevent this.
Two of the main ones are lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoid antioxidants that are found in large amounts in kale and some other foods.
Many studies have shown that people who eat enough lutein and zeaxanthin have a much lower risk of macular degeneration and cataracts, two very common eye disorders.
