Can Olive Oil Improve Eye Health?

By Katie Arden


In order for one's eye health to be preserved, it's clear that certain methods stand out more than others. One can make the argument that a diet consisting of vegetables like carrots and various leafy greens can help matters while another person will state that cutting back on smoking can have its benefits as far as eye health is concerned. Is it possible, though, that olive oil can prove to be just as useful? I'd like to think that this is the case after reading over a particular report.

The Olive Oil Times posted an article that talked about how lutein, in tandem with said oil, can prove to be useful in the long term. By definition, lutein is seen as a carotenoid in the body; basically, it's an antioxidant that is able to help the body as far as health is concerned. For those who are curious as to where exactly lutein can be taken from, think about leafy and green products along the lines of lettuce. As far as where exactly lutein can come into play, there are a few examples to note.

Lutein, as the report detailed, has been a proven components to help reduce macular degeneration in humans. Keep in mind that lutein is able to protect one's retinas and, by proxy, slows down any kind of aging with the eyes seen over the course of time. To put it simply, the eyes are protected for longer periods of time. Even though olive oil may not exactly play into this, on it own, there is a bit of science that deserves to be looked into by those who are enthusiasts of said oil.

A group of researchers at the University of Jan were able to extract the lutein from seaweed before bringing into into the olive oil. Keep in mind, though, that natural composition was emphasized, which I'm sure will be supported by various authorities, Unaprol included. Keep in mind that, in order for lutein to be added without the oil being changed in terms of color or taste, a year and a half was needed for research. However, it seems like that span of time was well-spent.

One has to wonder if the potential in question will be realized, though. As stated earlier, there are quite a few ways for sight and overall eye health to be preserved and I'd like to think that this type of oil could be tailored to help in this regard. What caught my attention, though, was the fact that this oil's properties were not exactly changed when lutein was integrated. Natural composition is crucial to this product and I am glad to see that very little had to be sacrificed.
