Lack of Zeaxanthin Linked to Poor Eyesight in Aging
Your eyes must process sunlight over the course of your life which exposes them to ionizing radiation that generates free radicals which must be deactivated by antioxidants, otherwise eyesight suffers undue wear and tear. A new study links another natural carotene, zeaxanthin, to age-associated loss of health in the macular region of the eye.Read More: anti-oxidants, Daily Protector™, eyesight, free radicals, Lutein, macular degeneration, natural carotene, sun exposure, zeaxanthin
Lutein and DHA Help Your Eyes
A new study concludes that “Lutein and DHA may aid in prevention of age-related macular degeneration.”Read More: DHA, Lutein, macular degeneration
Fish Oil Cuts Macular Degeneration Risk in Half
A study in the August issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that eating oily fish at least once per week cuts the risk for developing age-related macular degeneration in half.Read More: DHA, fish oil, macular degeneration
B Vitamins Reduce Risk of Macular Degeneration
A new study tracking over 5000 women with heart disease found that taking folic acid, B12, and B6 to lower homocysteine significantly reduced the risk of these women developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the leading cause of vision loss in older Americans.Read More: AMD, B Vitamins, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Daily Protector™, homocysteine, Lutein, macular degeneration, Super B Complex
Lutein and Zeaxanthin Protect Against Macular Degeneration
The consumption of the carotenes lutein and zeaxanthin, from food and dietary supplements, raises your blood levels of these nutrients which then accumulate in tissues around your body, including your eyes.Read More: Lutein, macular degeneration, zeaxanthin
DHA May Help Prevent Macular Degeneration
The omega 3 essential fatty acid known as DHA is intimately involved with eye health from a very early age and a number of epidemiologic studies have indicated that omega 3 oils may reduce the risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A new animal study by researchers at the National Eye Institute (NIH) sought to identify molecular mechanisms involved. The researchers showed that a diet high in omega 3 oils can significantly prevent and in some cases reverse the AMD-like lesions in their animal model.Read More: DHA, IL6, macular degeneration, TNFa
Resveratrol May Protect Against Multiple Eye Diseases
Vision researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are the first to identify a new gene pathway by which resveratrol protects the circulation within your eyes. This new science is directly relevant to helping with several eye problems associated with aging: macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.Read More: diabetic retinopathy, eye disease, macular degeneration, Resveratrol
DHA Reduces the Risk for Age-Related Macular Degeneration
9 million U.S. adults over the age of 40 show the initial signs of macular degeneration and another 7.3 million are already in its first stages. A new study shows that those with the highest intake of DHA have a 38% reduced risk of developing the problem, which indicates the importance of DHA to eye health.Read More: DHA, macular degeneration
Vitamin D Lowers Risk of Macular Degeneration
Preservation of eyesight is vital for quality of health. A new study shows that the higher the vitamin D level in women ages 50 – 75, the lower the risk for developing age-related macular degeneration.Read More: eye health, macular degeneration, Vitamin D
