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.

Guaranteed - Certificate of Analysis is available.
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.
