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 (CVS) [28].
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 [29].
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 [30].
KaLOHAS®
KaLOHAS® is an organic functional food made from the dark green leafy vegetable, kale, which is known for its high content of nutrients that support 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.
Supports nutrition for the macula
KaLOHAS® is also a good source of lutein, a carotenoid found naturally in the macula of the eye. Lutein is selectively absorbed into the macula, where it contributes to maintaining normal visual function as part of a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. A high intake of lutein through the diet may improve visual acuity and slow the progression of AMD. In fact, one study showed that consuming kale extract for 4 weeks significantly increased lutein levels in the blood and eyes, as well as improved the ability to reduce light damage to the eye. Clinical studies have shown that consuming kale extract can increase lutein levels in the blood and support nutritional conditions that promote eye health [31].
