Eye Health - A healthy and beautiful eyes, what if must be hindered by glasses. Eye disease that has limited visibility quite disturbing. Use of contact lenses were not always good. What should be on consumption to help the vision more clearly?
You may be one person in the eye disorder. Must use a tool if you want to see long distances. Today was no little kids who use glasses to see. Not only because of the age factor alone people use glasses but also because the retina is no longer catch the eye shadow properly.
Damage to the eyes because of the age factor is usually called by AMD or Age-Related Macular Degenariton, or reduced ability to see. AMD began to occur when the macula was damaged retina, causing "blind spots". That the longer it continues to expand and cause you to experience an interruption in the reading, even saw while driving the vehicle. And AMD is one cause of blindness in people aged 60 years and over.
AMD did not close the possibility of attacking them at a much younger age. However, the development of AMD can be prevented or at least slowed by consuming nutrient-rich foods and nutritious. Here are some foods that should be consumed to keep your eyes protected from esophageal AMD:
1. Expand Antioxidants
Today more and more foods that contain antioxidants are always promoted. Antioxidants are very good for the body, in addition to preventing the occurrence of cancer, apparently antioxidants may also slow the rate of growth of AMD. Some foods that contain high vitamin C seprti kiwi fruit, oranges and broccoli, Vitamin E in vegetable oils, nuts, and avocado, and lutein and zeaxanthin, nutrients abundant in dark green vegetables, like spinach. Lutein and zeaxanthin can also act as natural sunglasses, helping to form the pigment 'macula' which filters out most harmful sun rays.
2. Egg Consumption
Egg yolks are also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, but many people avoid eggs for fear of attack cholesterol. The researchers, led by Thomas Wilson, Ph.D., associate professor with the Center for Health and Disease Research at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, indicating when people eat eggs regularly, as many as two consecutive days significantly increased levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in circulation in their bodies without increasing LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. Unless you really have problems with cholesterol levels since the beginning.
3. Choosing foods carefully
Recently, a study involving more than 88 000 participants to prove that consuming fish that contain omega 3 fatty acids such as salmon, sardines, mackarel, herring, it slows the growth rate of AMD than those who did not consume. Omega 3 fatty acids contained in fish is a key component of the optic nerve cells, once described by Elaine Chong, Ph.D., a researcher at the Centre for Eye Research at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Be committed to eating more fatty fish, and do not stop there: shellfish, like mussels and crabs are also quite able to help prevent the development of AMD.
4. Supplement
If you already consume foods that contain nutrients, food supplements and equipment were needed. Nutrients contained in supplements can help reduce the risk of AMD significantly. If you have a tendency try to hit AMD eyes just follow the following formula supplements. Formula supplements are currently being investigated in experimental primary research covering 10 mg lutein (equivalent to approximately three cups of spinach), 2 milligrams of zeaxanthin and one gram total of EPA and DHA (roughly what you get in a 3-ounce servings of salmon). Until further research, there is no advantage exceeding that amount. Remember to take only under medical supervision, even though these supplements are also available on the table, high doses of any nutrient should always be approached with caution.
5. Always Maintain Blood Pressure and Weight Loss
People who have high blood pressure have a greater tendency AMD affected, according to the Amercan Academy of Ophthalmology. people with high blood pressure which can impede blood flow to the eye, making it difficult for nutrients reach the retina of the eye. Body fat is a major storehouse for fat-soluble nutrients, and excess fat tissue can act as protective eyes nutrients, making them less available in the macula. [BeritaPerDetik]
