Macular Degeneration (Yep, we have products to help you. Please let me know if you need more information). Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD or AMD) is the deterioration of the central focus region of the back of the eye, called the macula. It is called age related because generally it occurs in both men and women over the age of 50. AMD causes a loss of vision in the center of the visual field. Imagine a penny taped to the center of your glasses, poor central vision but better peripheral vision. The disease can advance to legal blindness, making it hard to recognize faces and colors, and causing difficulty when driving and reading. The macula, also called the yellow spot, contains high levels of the pigments lutein and zeaxanthin. High levels of lutein in the macula can absorb blue light which is believed to be the most damaging of lights. Unfortunately our bodies do not make lutein, and most people do not eat enough daily servings of deep green vegetables needed to get enough lutein. NutraView contains the research-recommended 10mg of lutein, and 2mg zeaxanthin, plus a powerful antioxidant combination of blueberry and bilberry extract that is believed to improve night vision. Eating a diet rich in DHA and EPA Omega-3 fatty acids is associated with a reduction in risk. Coldwater Omega-3 with 660mg DHA and 270mg EPA contain the ideal balance of DHA and EPA (2:1). The guide this was taken from tells us that a major contributor to eye challenges is the typical high-fat, high-sugar, preservative-laden American diet. Eating high glycemic foods like cakes, cookies, white bread, and sugar-sweetened foods quickly raise blood sugar. The New York Times reports on a study that found that those who ate the most high-glycemic foods had more than a 40 percent increased risk of developing macular degeneration compared to those who ate a healthier diet. Grape seed extract is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that can help improve night vision, diabetic eye complications, and macular degeneration. ProVex-Plus and ProvexCV contain only fresh grapes grown in California wine country. In most other grape seed supplements, grape seeds are harvested from fermented grapes that were used in the wine making process, leaving less of the healthful components in the skins and seeds. Protect Eyes from Sunlight and Blue Light We also may need to protect our eyes from harmful UV light when working or playing in the sun. Special filters added to our eyeglasses may be recommended if our workspace is brightly lit with fluorescent light fixtures, or if you spend hours in front of a computer terminal. ~ Richard M Barry Information taken from: Copyright 2014 by RM Barry Publications, LLC.
