Ever worry about your vision getting blurry as you age? A new study from Tufts University has some promising news for your eyes. Researchers found that simply incorporating 2 handfuls of pistachios into your daily diet could significantly improve your eye health!
Researchers from Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy led the study, which demonstrated eating pistachios, which contain detectable levels of the plant-based pigment lutein, can help in boosting macular pigment optical density (MPOD). One of the main causes of blindness in older persons, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is prevented by this crucial part of the eye, which filters harmful blue (visible) light.
