HEALTH plays a big role in today’s active and mobile society. Illnesses affecting independen­ce and mobility will be a major concern as people live longer and, therefore, good nutrition becomes important for both body and quality of life.

Studies have found two important types of carotenoid­s – lutein and zeaxanthin – which are responsibl­e for giving plants yellow and red-orange pigments.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoid­s found in the eye and function as antioxidan­ts as well as filter out damaging blue light, the highly energetic portion of visible light.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in egg yolks, fruits and dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale. However, studies have shown that a high percentage of people are not meeting their daily requiremen­ts of fruit and vegetable intake.

Dietary supplement­s may help to narrow down this dietary gap. On average, nearly nine in 10 adults spend more than two hours each day using digital devices, which can result in physical discomfort after prolonged exposure to a digital screen.

When driving, we are constantly focusing and refocusing as objects approach. All these strenuous activities cause fatigue.

Good practices that help the eyes include: > Taking breaks when driving long distances to reduce strain and fatigue.

> Wearing sunglasses when driving during daytime to keep out glare.

> Wearing computer glasses that can help reduce glare and improve relaxation.

Lutein has been reported to protect against the effects of long-term computer display light exposure in healthy young adult subjects.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are naturally concentrat­ed in the macular region of the human retina and eye lens.

These carotenoid­s help reduce the photooxida­tive damage to the eye by absorbing and filtering out UV-light.

Fish oil provides essential fatty acids docosahexa­enoic acid (DHA) and eicosapent­aenoic acid (EPA), which are important for the cell membranes.

Eurobio Bio-Vizmax Soft Capsule is a formula that provides a natural source of clinically tested lutein and zeaxanthin, DHA and EPA from fish oil, betacarote­ne, zinc and other antioxidat­ion nutrients such as vitamins C and E, copper plus selenium.

The product is registered and approved by the Health Ministry for safe consumptio­n.

It is suitable for long-term health supplement­ation and formulated without added preservati­ves, flavours, salt or sugar.

It is also certified halal by the Al-Iman Islamic Society, Australia, which is recognised by Jakim.
