Using fennel in food helps protect the eyes from inflammation and also help reduce disorders related to premature ageing and macular degeneration.
This is due to the high abundance of antioxidants (vitamin C and amino acids like arginine are very beneficial for rejuvenation of tissues and the prevention of ageing), detoxifiers and stimulants.
They are more specifically found in fennel essential oil, as well as minerals like cobalt and magnesium.
Finally, the juice of its leaves and the plant itself can be externally applied to the eyes to reduce irritation and eye fatigue.
Fennel is also a rich source of flavonoids, which are very useful in protecting against pigment cells dying due to oxidative-stress-induced death.
By protecting against this destruction of the pigment cells, fennel can safely be classified as effective in eye-health for numerous reasons.
Fennel is in season right now so why not add some fennel to your weekly eating plan?
