Wonder Fruit STOPS Blindness
We all grew up with our grandmothers telling us that carrots are good for our eyes.
I’m not about to argue with Grandma.
But while her sage wisdom is still true, researchers have recently uncovered a food that’s even better.
In fact, it can lower your risk of the leading cause of blindness by a WHOPPING 60%.
And the best part? You can get your hands on it today.
In a study called the Blue Mountains Eye Study, researchers studied nearly 3,000 older people over 15-plus years to determine the impact of diet on chronic disease.
One of the key diseases studied was macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the US.
Macular degeneration occurs when people lose central vision. It’s like looking through glasses that have a smudge right in the middle.
There is no cure for macular degeneration, but there are ways to prevent it.
And according tothe list latest study, one of the best ways to do that is simply by eating oranges.
Specifically, the people who had an orange a day had a 60% reduced risk of developing the eye disease!
Even those who ate just one per week were more protected than those who didn’t eat any at all.
This study focused on the impact of plant chemicals called flavonoids. But other nutrients have also been found to help protect against age-related macular degeneration, including vitamins C, E, and A, and carotenoids, which are found in green leafy vegetables.
Grandma’s advice still holds true… carrots can help protect your eyesight.
But by adding oranges to the mix, you’ll be adding extra protection against a tragic, incurable disease.
