It is very important for peopleseniors to know that they can do a lot to help preserve healthy vision through diet, exercise and specific nutritional supplementation. Eye disease often manifests particularly in seniors due to compromised circulation, poorer absorption of nutrients through their digestive tracts, and the effects of medications.
It is believed that eye visual system requires up to 25% of the nutrients we take into our bodies to function properly.
For an example of how important nutrition is along with regular exercise, there is now a great deal of research that shows that there are essential nutrients such as lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3 fatty acids, taurine, gingko biloba, lycopene, vitamin A, E, zinc, copper, selenium for example, that can help both prevent the onset of macular degeneration as well as help preserve vision for those with macular degeneration.
