Macular Degeneration…can be
PREVENTED!
|
|
Macular degeneration is the gradual breakdown of the central retina leading to
poor eyesight and blindness (affects 25% of population by age 65). Klein et
al., Ophthalmology, 104(1):7-21, 1997
|
|
Experimental studies show that retinal injury from sunlight is due to oxidative
damage and that antioxidant vitamins A, C and E are protective. Beatty et al.,
Surv of Ophthal 45(2):115-134, 2000
|
|
Dietary supplementation of lutein and zeaxanthin increases their levels in the
macula where they absorb light and quench free radicals.
|
|
Less risk for macular degeneration if your diet is rich in fresh vegetables and
fruits like spinach (containing lutein and zeaxanthin). Natl Cancer Inst
90(16):1219-24, 1998.
