Macula Degeneration - How to prevent degeneration of the macula

The degeneration of the macula occurs as we age. As research advances in terms of our knowledge of the macula lutea of the eye, scientists are realizing that degeneration of the macula occurs due to oxidation. This oxidation can be reduced or prevented by increasing the amount of antioxidants in the diet or by taking antioxidant supplements. The most important antioxidants to prevent degeneration of the macula are lutein and zeaxanthin. If you would like to improve your vision, consider Eyesight Rx with lutein, formulated by a medical doctor.

Lutein is a potent antioxidant carotenoid found in abundance in fruits and green leafy vegetables. Lutein is also one of the dominant pigments found in the macular region of the retina. In the macula, lutein is selectively accumulated from plasma and filters out visible blue light. Recent studies suggest this filtering process serves to protect the retina from damage caused by light or oxidation. This Lutein product is extracted from the marigold flower.

Natural treatment for degeneration of the macula
Degeneration of the macula is a condition in which there is progressive deterioration of the central area of the retina, resulting in gradual sight loss in the center of the field of vision. Treatment for degeneration of the macula is still evolving and advancing. Unfortunately little macular degeneration treatment research is focused on natural approaches. Some basic nutritional treatments for macular degeneration are being overlooked. These include the use of plant antioxidants and the use of fish oils. 

Carbohydrates and macula degeneration
Persons at risk of age related macular degeneration progression would benefit from consuming a smaller amount of refined carbohydrates.

Healthy diet for prevention of macula degeneration
Eating yellow and green vegetables may help people aged 60 and older avoid age-related macula degeneration. About 4,500 people aged 60-80 who were screened for age-related macula degeneration. Participants reported how often they had eaten 90 different foods during the past year. Those foods included yellow and green veggies rich in the nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin. Those with the highest self-reported intake of foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin were 35 percent less likely than those with the lowest lutein and zeaxanthin intake to have "wet" age-related macula degeneration. "Wet" age-related macula degeneration involves the growth of abnormal blood vessels beneath the macula. Those blood vessels leak blood and fluid, disrupting vision. The study doesn't prove that lutein and zeaxanthin prevent age-related macula degeneration. Foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin include spinach, kale, turnip greens, collards, mustard greens, squash, green peas, broccoli, pumpkin, and corn.
