The eggs contain 2 important antioxidants that our eyes need to be powerfully protected, they are called Zeaxanthin and Lutein, both are located in the Yolk. These antioxidants accumulate in the retina, which is the part that protects our eyes from the harmful light, like the sunlight.
Also, they can decrease the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration, which are among the leading causes of blindness and vision impairment in the elderly.
Therefore, consuming only 1.3 eggs Yolks per day for a month can increase the levels of Lutein by 28-50% and zeaxanthin by 114-142%.
