Poor nutrition can steal the future of your eye-sight.. You may see everything just fine now, but
your diet could put you at risk for the leading cause of irreversible blindness
in older Americans: macular degeneration.
But that’s not all: poor nutrition can also put you at risk to contract
cataracts, cloudy spots in the eye lens that cause a progressive loss of
vision. To discover what nutrients you
need to preserve your sight, read on…
Antioxidants:
Recent evidence compiled by the National Institutes of
Health shows that supplementation with Vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and Zinc helps prevent
macular degeneration from worsening by 25%.
The study, called the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDs) determined
that the daily supplementation regimen that provided these results is 500 mg of
Vitamin C, 44 IU vitamin E, 15 mg of
beta-carotene, 80 mg of zinc, and 2 mg of copper. Moreover, researchers at Brigham and Woman’s
Hospital in Boston discovered that those with early age-related cataracts who
consumed daily doses of vitamins C and E and beta-carotene experienced a small
deceleration in cataract progression.
Carotenoids:
Studies consistently point out that diets with
carotenoid-rich vegetables, like spinach, have a protective effect on eye
health. In fact, spinach contains lutein
and zeaxanthin, carotenoids which are also found in the part of the eye that’s
subjected to damage from age-related macular degeneration. Tufts researchers recently reviewed 30 years
of scientific evidence, and concluded that “generous intakes” of the
carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin can reduce risk of macular degeneration by as
much as 40%!
Moreover, researchers in Indiana found that people who
consumed high intakes of lutein and zeaxanthin, possessed higher levels of
macular pigment (the highly concentrated deposits of lutein and zeaxanthin in
the macula) in the eyes than those who consumed much less. This study shows the importance of consuming
carotenoid-rich foods and their impact on eye health.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
Harvard researchers compared the histories of 350 people
with advanced macular degeneration to those of 500 people with good eye health,
and found that those with the highest intakes of vegetable fat, who did not
also consume a healthy balance of omega-3 fatty acids, were more than twice as
likely to have the disease than those with lower intakes. While many vegetable fats are good, if they’re
not balanced by omega-3s this could cause a risk of macular degeneration.
Make sure the above nutrients are a part of your daily
supplementation routine so that you can see clearly for years to come!
While macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness
in people aged 55 and older, cataracts can start forming on your eyes as early
as age 30. So young or old, your eye
health is at risk if you don’t get the nutrients that fight for your sight on a
daily basis. And, if you’re like most
people, you’re not getting enough of these nutrients in your diet. You’d have to eat a mountain of fruits and
vegetables just to get the recommended amounts of 500 mg of Vitamin C daily,
not to mention covering the other eye-saving nutrients!
Can you realistically get all of that from your diet? If your answer is “No”, then supplementation
is the answer for you, and we’ve got what you need:
