An egg a day can protect people over age 60 from developing macular degeneration. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition the levels of powerful antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin in participants’ blood increased between 26 and 38% if they ate one egg per day.
The single egg did not contribute to participants’ cholesterol levels.
Studies have proven that low eye levels of antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, could contribute to Aged-Related Macular Degeneration.
