Vision Problems? You MUST Read This!
Have you started “playing trombone” yet?
You know… that in and out motion you make when you’re trying to get your book in focus.
Maybe your eyesight is starting to slip. Or maybe you’re worried about developing macular degeneration, cataracts, or glaucoma.
Either way, loading up on certain key nutrients can help protect your eyes from age-related changes as you get older.
Here are my top five.
The three big enemies to eye health as you age are cataracts, degeneration, and glaucoma.
- Cataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. It’s like looking through a foggy window.
- Age-related macular degeneration occurs when your central vision gets destroyed, making it impossible to do everyday tasks like driving.
- Glaucoma occurs when your optic nerve becomes damaged from a buildup of pressure. It is irreversible, and it leads to vision loss and blindness.
Together, these conditions impact nearly 30 million people over the age of 40 (with cataracts making up the bulk of the cases).
But while cataracts can be surgically removed, glaucoma and AMD are progressive and irreversible. That means you want to do everything in your power to make sure you never get that diagnosis.
And the best way to do that is by loading up on nutrients proven to support eye health and prevent these exact conditions.
- Vitamin A helps maintain a clear cornea, it helps your eyes see in low-light conditions, and it can protect against cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
- Carotenoids – like lutein and zeaxanthin – are located in your macula and retina and help filter damaging blue light from your “smart” devices. Studies show that they can help slow the progression of cataracts and macular degeneration. Along those same lines, another carotenoid, beta carotene, can also help filter out harmful blue light.
- Vitamin C is well-known as an immune booster, but it is also a powerful antioxidant that helps scavenge free radicals throughout your body—including those in your eyes. That’s one reason why it can reduce your risk of developing cataracts by up to 45%.
- Vitamin E helps prevent age-related changes in your eyes. One study shows that supplementing with vitamin E helped slow the progression of macular degeneration by 25%.
- B vitamins can help prevent all three eye conditions. The combination of vitamins B6, B9, and B12 reduces the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Vitamin B2 reduces the risk of cataracts. And vitamin B3 can decrease the risk of glaucoma.
The best way to get more of these nutrients is to eat foods that contain them.
But if your diet isn’t loaded with fruits and vegetables, you should consider adding in supplements as well. There are numerous products on the market specifically designed for eye health that contain a combination of these and other nutrients.
