hi guys in this video we’re going to

discuss macular degeneration okay the

first thing we need to define is what

Immaculate is well first let’s talk

about a retina the retina comes from the

Latin word which means net because it’s

kind of a net of cells that are

photosensitive cells they’re equivalent

to the film of the camera that picks up

the data and it’s connected to something

called the optic nerve that’s which is

basically an extension of the brain so

the retina is really part of your brain

tissue sticking out into the inside of

the eye and it’s capturing light and

information and it’s going in there and

it’s being converted to different

pictures okay so that’s the retina part

of the retina you have this little focal

spot called the macula so macula comes

from the Latin word which means spot so

the macula is responsible for the

central vision okay not the peripheral

just the central vision high-resolution

color during normal light okay not in

the dark

if you have macular degeneration you

cannot see centrally okay you start and

lose your vision

maybe not complete blindness but you

can’t recognize people it just so

happens that the macula has high

concentrations of a phytonutrient called

zeaxanthin okay and the retina has

higher concentrations of lutein these

are both phytonutrients so take a while

guess where you’d get these two

nutrients from dark green vegetables

okay specifically kale now haven’t I

mentioned consuming kale in the past a

couple times well this is another reason

why you need to start doing kale spinach

collard greens not overly cooked by the

way romaine lettuce okay it’s also in

egg yolks the yellow is loaded with it

carrots bell peppers so when the green

plant creates these two compounds it’s

basically converting sunlight into

chemical energy so we can use it as fuel

when we consume this but we also get

other benefits from it as well so it’s

just an interesting coincidence that in

a plant we have this concentrated

sunlight energy that’s involved with

light

and it’s also neat in the eye where you

also have light going and now what if

there’s a connection there so here’s my

tip of the day start consuming these so

you can get more phytonutrients and

avoid macular degeneration okay I just

wanted to take a moment to thank you

personally there’s so many of you that

have gotten this book and the feedback

that you’re giving me is mind-blowing

thank you so much I really appreciate it

if you wouldn’t mind I have one quick

favor to put your unbiased review on

Amazon I would really appreciate it

thank you so much
