Better Eye Sight
Avocados contain two very important carotenoids – lutein and zeaxanthin. Carotenoids are antioxidants that remove free radicals from your body (free radicals are created during every day activities). Both lutein and zeaxanthin are necessary for eye health. These two carotenoids work well separately but work even better together.
They are the only carotenoids that collect in the macula, an area of the eye essential for vision. Studies show a strong link between a reduction in cataract formation and macular degeneration.
