"Boosting Athletic Vision: The Power of Colorful Foods"
A study from the University of Georgia suggests that athletes' visual range can be improved by consuming fruits and vegetables rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which enhance functional vision and the ability to handle blue light exposure. These plant compounds, known as macular pigments, accumulate in the retina and act as a filter to prevent blue light from entering the eye. While individual absorption rates may vary, incorporating more lutein and zeaxanthin into the diet can have overall health benefits and potentially optimize athletic performance.
