Hmm Spinach contained 6.89 ± 0.08 mg lutein, 0.22 ± 0.01 mg zeaxanthin, and 2.34 ± 0.06 mg β-carotene per 100g wet wt (n = 7). Eggs contained 2.67 ± 0.11 mg lutein, 0.31 ± 0.02 mg zeaxanthin/100 g wet weight (n = 10). This is ∼5 times the amount found in conventional eggs (16). However, lutein bioavailability from egg is higher than that from other sources such as lutein, lutein ester supplements, and spinach...
@@huebinhtrinh4830BUT YOU MISS THE DIFFERENT & HEALTHIEST WAYS OF COOKING THEM. AND AT THE END HE ADDS *WHAT NOT TO EAT AND WHAT NOT DO THAT CAN DAMAGE EYES & VISION*.😉 THAT'S WHY MOST PEOPLE ONLY GET HALF OF INFO IN EVERYTHING AND GET MISINFORMED.🙄 LIFE IS NOT THAT SIMPLE, WE NEED T LOVE OURSELVES COMPLETELY.
Many years ago my gran had free range hens that had access to the seashore. The yokes were a really dark orange from feeding on seaweed. I imagine they were very rich in nutrients.
Thank you Dr. Li. for all Ur healthy natural prescriptions & recipe variations to add to ours with all benefist from mother nature... giving Thanks to Nurturing Father Creator of All Good Blessings.
Sweet potato hash: tiny amt oil (or broth sauté if prefer); cube sweet potatoes until half done, then add veg like onions, sweet peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, hot peppers-if you want heat; continue to cook until almost done; then throw in chopped garlic and top with parsley. Then, if you eat eggs, top with a poached egg and let the yolk act like a sauce over the hash. Yum!
I love cantaloupe in my green smoothies. And I love corn on the cob with no butter no salt maybe a little pepper but usually not even that. I also love rock corn on the cob. Don’t know if that’s a healthy safe way to eat it, but I really like it, as far as eggs, I’m staying away from them. They don’t like me. But I love them. thank you, Doctor Li I do have my problems as you described. My eyes are always draining and crusty and dry. Doesn’t seem like anything helps but I will try this, but I’m also going plant-based exclusive for a while and see if it helps the things that are going on with my body. So most of what you’ve described will fit in with my eating protocol thank you so much.
If by rock corn you mean field corn which is grown for animal feed, you are eating GMO “Roundup Ready” sprayed with glyphosate corn. You are poisoning yourself.
Dr Williams what about "caléndula", excuse me i am spanish. I use infusión of "caléndula" to help my eyes. Used it and when you can tell us what do you think about It. About to prepare the eggs an other form is in the water boiled in mouvement with a cuchara for exemple. Thank you!!
The petals of calendula are very helpful for eye health. They can be eaten in salad, or make tea for eye wash. This is what I've learned in studying herbs.
Hi, Dr Li. I am 78 and grew up on a family farm where we grew our own food the Old Country way because my grandparents were from the Lviv area of Ukraine. We raised chickens and had a Jersey cow, made our own butter, cottage cheese from her very heavy fat milk. I grew up on that diet. I take NO MEDICATION, my bones are strong (rode two horses on my 77th birthday, my bmi is perfect, and normal blood pressure. I was an equestrian athlete 2/3 of my life. I continue to eat butter but it must come from a brown not a black and white cow. Also, there is a difference between “free range” and “pastured” chicken eggs. “Free range” means that they are “free” to roam around in a long chicken house which allows one square foot per hen. “Pastured” hens are outside on the grass in a large pasture with electric fencing to keep all the predators except the flying ones out. You won’t get Orange yolks from free range hens unless they are fed a product which dyes their eggs. Whether that increases the amount of lute in and zeazanthin in the eggs, I don’t know. Perhaps you can find out. Personally, I have bought some free range eggs that were only yellow.
Dr Li - I appreciate your sharing your medical knowledge with us. I have learnt so much from your video presentatons. This is truly selfless service for mankind.
Thank you for covering eye health! I was diagnosed with bilateral coats disease (genetic retinal eye disease) at 24 and ended up losing an eye from it. I feel like eye health is something that isn’t stressed enough.. I for one was uneducated before my diagnosis. Always looking for ways to keep my remaining eye healthy as I age 🙏🏼
I have 2 organic, pasteurized, over easy every day and cooked in butter, from grass fed cows. Butter is the good fat that our brains need. I never eat corn because most of it is GMO.
I noticed the commercials always come it at critical points, its somewhat annoying but its also degrading to the value of the info you are trying to share. RU-vid needs to re-evaluate the timing of commercials.
It would be helpful to know how much salt and whether throughout the day, because some mineral rich salt is important to bring hydration and nutrients into our cells
Hey Doc I 've been boiling the whole corn on the cob with the entire husk still on it then peeling back the husk & it looks like a pretty green sword handle - is this ok for the same nutrients or does this method alter it ? then I save the husks to make tamales 😅
How would these foods effect Macular Degeneration. I have had this (wet form) since I was 50 years old. A lot of wonderful medical advances in this field but still its a challenge. Do these foods help. What about cataracts? I started taking AREDS about 2 years after or whenever AREDS was recommended after that study you mentioned. Now I get injections in my left eye because I am told nothing can help my right eye. Do you think I should get injections in my right eye to preserve the perimeter vision?
I would really appreciate some advice..I am a Canadian living part time in Mexico These procedures took place in Mexico with a private fee for service Optomologist One day I noticed a curtain is dropping in my left eye. My GP said to seek out a Optomologist, which I did . He operated putting a band on the eye ball to keep pressure in the organ to hold the retina against back of the eye. Later he did laser treatment to re-attaching the retina. Nothing worked except the fees ! I lost the sight in my left eye and also I have extreme photo-phobia, in the bright of the day, I am blind As an aside ..when in Canada a optomoligist said there is not or is there any evidence of an band on your eyeball ?? I have seen 3 other Optomologists here in Mexico, none with an enlightening words. Any help would be much appreciated ?
The corn that is grown for human consumption which is commonly called “sweet corn” may be hybridized which is not the same as Genetically Modified. My favorite variety is “golden bantam” a variety that has been around since my childhood in the 50s. Check out the varieties on a seed store online. GMO. Make list and then you can ask the produce manager or farmer’s market seller, “What variety of sweet corn is this and where did it come from?” Many states require that the origin of produce be clearly provided to the consumer.
To clarify from Dr. Li (or others), I thought AREDS 2 is recommended for "people already with moderate-to-advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD)", but not as a preventative measure. Is that right?
@sandrasmith4228 he recommended a specific lens that would give 20/20 vision. Then, I had a goniotomy, both eyes. 6 months later, I had a second glaucoma surgery with graft. Currently, vision is very blurry, near vision almost blind, unable to read a book. I'm being told I need to have a lens transfer, which is very invasive and risky.
9:45 I disagree. The latest scientific studies have actually shown that replacing saturated fats like butter with carbohydrates and/or other fatty acids like seed oils increases the risk of cardio vascular disease. Good quality butter is very good for the brain and, therefore, the eyes.
Butter from HOLSTEIN cows not so much. Brown cow butter is what is good for you: Jersey and Gurnsey cows. Most commercial milk and butter is from Holstein cows because they produce a LOT more milk than the smaller brown cows.
Disagree about eggs which contain saturated fat. He doesn't want to eat butter because of saturated fat but eats it in eggs with saturated fat . . . ? Forget the eggs. Carrots have a huge amount of Vit A carotenoids for vision and ALL leafy greens have zeaxanthin and lutein. Eat greens every day. Olive oil is 15% saturated fat. Again, he doesn't want to eat butter because of saturated fat but will eat saturated fat in olive oil. 1 Tbs of olive oil has more saturated fat in it than one egg. And, btw, it takes about 40 olives to make 1Tbs of olive oil. Forget the olive oil as plenty of other plants have polyphenols in it. Just eat a few olives in their whole food form instead and that way you'll get the amount of saturated fat that Mother Nature intended rather than a highly processed oil.
My neighbor has a grove of olive trees here in north central Fl and cold presses and sells his olive oil. NOT processed. WONDERFUL green flavor. People have to have cholesterol for their brains to function properly and not shrink! If you are eating sugar and white flour, THAT is what will screw up the works. Next is chemical exposures, like formaldehyde, glyphosate, dry cleaning chemicals, household chemicals, fire retardant, carpet glue, permanent press fabrics, hand sanitizer with tryclosan. Get it?
Raw Carrots will give carotinoids. Also dark green leaves in raw form i.e. salads, for Lutein and Zeaxanthn. These substances reduce the retinal degeneration. But eat carrots only three days a week. Otherwise there will be sugar fluctuations.
Table salt does not deserve to be called salt, being processed & stripped of its mineral elements. Name it what it really is...sodium. Sea salt...ie Celtic, or Himalayan salt retains the minerals & therefore actually deserves the title of...salt.
With all respect but Yellow corn is chemically process out of a lab for money making reasons and true corn is white color. I should know I am Hispanic and eat white corn always. Latin America and European countries have refuse yellow corn from the US.
Hi! I live in Brasil and here they say that when the corn is nearly white and tender it means that it is very young. As time goes by it gets more and more yellow. I tend to buy organic corn as in Brazil most of the corn is GM. Sometimes I wonder if the seed of the organic corn is organic or the seeds have been manipulated in the labs but the way they grow it is organic. I don’t know enough about it. Anyone here can tell me more about this? Thank you.
Do agree on that dr williams but as a practicing physician, the best real world way i think of taking care of our vision is controlling the disease or diseases that affect vision or the eyes dr williams....more power..
There is a difference between a vaccine and an mRNA injection. The mRNA stuff does NOT MEET THE SCIENTIFIC DEFINITION of a VACCINE! It was INTENTIONALLY mislabeled. If you are anti vax, you are against something that actually saves lives. I am 78 BECAUSE of vaccines like the polio, measles, rubella, etc., vaccines. They were given ONE AT A TIME over a period of years and there were a few bad reactions because people have genetic mutations which were not compatible. By and large, my generation benefited from them in a big way. I am not advocating for an mRNA jab AT ALL. It is NOT A VACCINE!
