Vitamins for your eyes?

[curt81]

I was wondering if anyone recommends any vitamin that is for your eyes? There's a history of macular degeneration in my family and am constanly worried about getting it. Vitalux is not an option, as it's basically for 55 and up and i can't stand the taste of them anyways.

Macular Degeneration: Blind from the Western DietLike other degenerative diseases – heart disease, stroke, arthritis – age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is due primarily to our diet and secondarily to our lifestyle – therefore easily preventable, and to some extent reversible. This form of eye disease is the leading cause of blindness in people age 64 or older living in Western countries. The severe form with impairment of vision affects 1.7 million people in the United States, with 200,000 new cases annually. Characteristically, this is a disease of progressive, painless, loss of the central vision in the macula of both eyes simultaneously. The macula is the part of the retina which provides our most acute and detailed vision, and is used for visual activities, like reading, driving, recognizing faces, watching television, and other fine work.
Multiple studies clearly show that the same risk factors that predict the development and progression of coronary artery disease (heart disease) also predict the chance of you losing your eyesight from AMD:
* Overweight people have more than twice the risk of progression of this disease from the mild form, which affects nearly 8 million people in the United States, to the severe blinding form over the next 5 years.¹ Other common risk factors shared by both diseases are cigarette smoking, lack of exercise, high cholesterol, and hypertension.¹
* A Diet high in all kinds fats, including animal, trans-fats (margarines, shortenings), monounsaturated fats (olive oil), and other vegetable fats, increases the risk of developing AMD by two to three times compared to a diet low in fat.^2,3
* A diet low in fruits and vegetables is associated with an increased risk of AMD.⁴
* Vigorous physical activity decreases the risk of AMD.¹
* As people in underdeveloped countries, for example Japan, Taiwan and China, switch from their native diets based on starches (like rice) to Western diets their risk of AMD increases parallel to their risk of heart disease.⁵

Elderberries actually improve night vision. This helps in seeing in reduced lighting. It also helps in dealing with tension according to recent studies.

Looking at eye vitamins vitamins, you should keep in mind that alpha- and beta-carotene can form Vitamin A in the body. This is something that is extremely essential for proper development and duplication along with the benefit of good vision. There are almost 20 natural vitamins, nutrients and nutrients per 1-oz providing of a fruit like avocados. For this reason, it absolutely is easy to understand that fruits and veggies like avocados are an excellent vitamin option.

I shop with an all natural company who specializes in total body wellness. They just got a patent for their vitamin formulation called Oligo which is way far more soluble than any other brand. It allows your body to absorb them naturally as you would with the nutrients in food. You would need to take 33 Centrum or 15 One a Day to equal that of Vitality for Life. They also carry a supplement for eye health. If you would like more information please PM me.
