10 Benefits of Kale
Kale Benefit #8: Protects Eyes
As we grow older, many of us will find that our eyesight is not quite what it used to be. We can find it difficult to focus and some of us will also develop complications such as cataracts. While there are treatments that can resolve many problems, there are some that are not yet treatable.
The best cure of all, however, is prevention, and kale contains compounds that help to protect the eyes from the effects of aging. Zeaxanthin and lutein, in particular, are known to help prevent the eyes from deteriorating, and they are found in large quantities in kale.
