Everyone knows that protecting the eyes is important.
But turning the eyeballs, looking at the green, the eye protection mode of the mobile phone, etc. are all ineffective eye protection methods, friends! 📢
We people who have been using our eyes for a long time, first of all, we should do -
Rest for 20 seconds with your eyes, or for 10 minutes with your eyes for 45 minutes.
Moreover, there is another nutrient that also has the effect of protecting the eyes, and we have to eat it every day:
Lutein
Today's research institute recommends to you "lutein ester · Star Gummy", you can eat 1 capsule a day to protect your eyes.

lutein
Good for eyes
—
It protects the retina.
There are some reactive oxygen radicals in our eyes, which have strong oxidation properties, and if they are ignored, they are easy to damage the retina.
This process may not be felt by everyone, because it is a continuous attack, which is not painful at once, but it is not broken.
If the retina is damaged, it can cause a series of eye diseases. Everyone still has to pay more attention!

Therefore, in addition to the need to check the eyes regularly, we can also ensure that we eat enough lutein.
Because lutein has a strong antioxidant power, it can remove those nasty free radicals from the eyes, thereby protecting our retina from harm.

Studies have also shown that lutein helps improve visual function. For example, you will not feel too excited about light, or you will not be easily dazzled by the glare of the oncoming car when driving at night.
At this time, some readers may ask, then I eat some vegetables and fruits, is lutein can also be supplemented?
yes! But --
Too many people don't eat enough
The human body cannot synthesize lutein, and must eat from food.
Lutein is more abundantly present in dark green vegetables, and if you can eat enough every day, lutein is not lacking.
But the reality is that everyone is either a takeaway or a canteen, and it's really hard to make sure you eat enough.
Super delicious fried rice noodles taken out at noon, but carb alone accounts for more than 80%.

In 2013, the Chinese Nutrition Society proposed that the recommended intake of lutein for mainland adults is 10 mg/day.
What is the concept of this number?
Everyone often eats rapeseed, lutein content is 1.7 mg / 100 grams, if you want to eat the recommended intake of 10 mg, then we need to eat about 588 grams of rapeseed.
There are also carrots that everyone does not like but are forced to eat, and the lutein content is 0.8 mg / 100 grams.
If you eat it, you have to eat 1250 grams, which is more than two pounds... The rabbit said that it was not finished. 🐰
Judging from everyone's diet, this is really hanging. Some surveys have found that people really haven't eaten enough:
A survey of university students in Xi'an showed that the median lutein intake was only 2.13 mg/day.
A survey of primary and secondary school students in Guangzhou yielded similar results – the median lutein intake was only 2.49 mg/day, and the minimum intake was only 0.09 mg/day.
The gap with the recommended intake is too big.
The "lutein esters recommended by this research institute · In "Star Gummies", 1 capsule contains 10 mg of lutein esters and 1 mg of zeaxanthin.
Among them, zeaxanthin also has the effect of antioxidant damage.
One grain can replenish the lutein needed for a day, and the investment in a day is only a dollar, which is also quite cost-effective.
In addition, some readers may wonder if there is anything wrong if it is too much?
Eating too much doesn't cause any physical harm, but it can easily make you a "minion". The maximum tolerated intake of lutein is 40 mg/day – so take 1 capsule, not more than 4.
The whole family can eat it
It is also recommended to eat
Children over the age of 3 can also ensure adequate lutein intake (but it is more important to cultivate correct eye habits).
Older adults are also in high demand, and epidemiological studies have shown that age-related macular degeneration and cataract incidences are lower if the intake of lutein is 6 mg per day.
In addition, the safety of lutein and zeaxanthin is very high, so it can also be eaten during pregnancy, pregnancy, and lactation.
This lutein ester gummies are a 0 sugar formula, so you don't have to worry about gaining weight after eating them.
Its sweetness comes from maltitol in the recipe, etc. It does not contain free sugar, does not cause tooth decay and blood sugar fluctuations, and can be eaten even by diabetics.
Many small partners who have bought have said that they eat QQ, and compared with other supplements, they will be more acceptable.

If you also need lutein supplementation, hurry up. 👇
Finally, I would like to remind everyone:
While lutein lipid gummies can be effective in protecting our eyes, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
First of all, we must remind ourselves to use the correct way to use the eyes, and then supplement with sufficient amounts of lutein to have a better effect.
Quickly forward this article to those who need it, and let's protect our eyes together. 👁
