You don\u2019t want your brains to go rancid. You\u2019d think that one of the major fat-soluble dietary antioxidants would step in, like beta-carotene, but the major carotenoid concentrated in the brain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/25109868\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is<\/a> actually lutein. Our brain just preferentially sucks it up.<\/p>\n<p>For example, look at the \u201coldest old,\u201d like in the Georgia centenarian study. Recognizing that \u201coxidative stress is involved in age-related cognitive decline,\u201d researchers figured that \u201cdietary antioxidants\u2026may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23840953\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">play<\/a> a role in the prevention or delay in cognitive decline,\u201d so they looked at eight different ones: vitamin A, vitamin E, and on down the list. Only lutein was \u201csignificantly related to better cognition.\u201d Now, in this study, researchers looked at brain tissue on autopsy, but by then, it\u2019s a little too late. How could you study the effects of diet on the brain while you\u2019re still alive? If only there were a way we could physically look into the living brain with our own two eyes. There is. With our own two eyes.<\/p>\n<p>The retina, the back of our eyeball, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25109868\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is<\/a> actually an extension of our central nervous system, an outpouching of the brain during development. And, as you can see at 2:02 in my <a href=\"https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/video\/brain-healthy-foods-to-fight-aging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>video<\/strong><\/a>, there\u2019s a spot right in the middle. That is what the doctor sees when looking into your eye with that bright light. That spot, called the macula, is our HD camera, where we get the highest resolution vision, and it\u2019s packed with lutein.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-91540\" src=\"https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02.png 1920w, https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02-960x540.png 960w, https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02-720x405.png 720w, https:\/\/nutritionfacts.org\/app\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-02-540x304.png 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And, levels in the retina <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/25752849\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">correspond<\/a> to levels in the rest of our brain so our eyes can be a window into our brain. So, now we can finally do studies on living people to see if diet can affect lutein levels in the eyes, which reflects lutein levels in the brain, and find out if that correlates with improvements in cognitive function. And, indeed, significant correlations do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26401946\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exist<\/a> between cognitive test scores and the amount of macular pigment, these plant pigments like lutein in your eye. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/27776568\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">demonstrate<\/a> this on functional MRI scans, suggesting lutein and a related plant pigment called zeaxanthin \u201cpromote cognitive functioning in old age by enhancing neural efficiency\u201d\u2014that is, the efficiency by which our nerves communicate.
