In modern life, most people are used to stare at a screen for a long time, either a computer or a mobile phone. This makes your eyes get tired easily, and you may experience dry/watery eyes, red/itchy/irritated eyes, light sensitivity, eye twitching, blurred or double vision, or headaches.
Your eyes are complex organs that need many different vitamins and nutrients to function properly. Since our exercise time and outdoor time has been taken over by the screens, it is important to include food like green leafy vegetables, salmons etc. in our diets that help our eyesight.
Except tired eyes, some elderly people may experience a blurred or reduced central vision, which is called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Macula is part of the retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye), and it controls sharp, straight-ahead vision. When aging causes damage to the macula, AMD may happen. However, research shows that you may be able to lower your risk of AMD or slow vision loss from AMD by high intake of vegetables rich in carotenoids and fatty fish containing omega-3 fatty acids.
At Green Gourmet, we offers you a functional product that is good for your general eye health and beneficial for prevention of AMD.
KaLOHAS®
KaLOHAS® is an organic functional food made of dark green leafy vegetable kale, an excellent eye-friendly food. It contains various vitamins that are vital for eye health.
Benefit general eye health
Especially, KaLOHAS® is rich in beta carotene, a carotenoid that can be converted to vitamin A in your body. Vitamin A-rich foods are recommended for general eye health, as vitamin A maintains normal visual function, allows you to see in dark, relieves tired eyes, improves eye health. Compared to other common healthy vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, kale has the most abundant beta-carotene that can help maintain your eye health.
Reduce risk of AMD
Additionally, to elderly people, KaLOHAS® is also a good choice for reducing the risk of AMD. Kale also has high amount of lutein, another carotenoid that is especially important to preserving vision. It is selectively taken up into the macula where it protects your eyes from the damage caused by light and help maintain optimal visual function. High dietary intakes of lutein could improve visual acuity and slow the progression of AMD. Indeed, a study found taking kale extract for 4 weeks significantly increased the lutein level in blood and eyes and improve the ability to reduce the light damage to the eye.
Easy to use
KaLOHAS® can be used in all meals, smoothies, yogurt, ice cream, bread, cake, cookie…everything you can think of. Just add KaLOHAS® to your foods or drinks, then you have your own healthy diet.
