Nutritional Keys For Lifelong Eye Health

Whole food nutrition, phytonutrients in particular, continue to draw attention at the crossroads between food, health, and disease. The amount of nutrients present in your diet is a critical predictor of your future health and risk of disease. This notion is gaining more traction against some sceptics as research backing it continues to mount.
  Since the early days when nutritional science first began [around 1900] we have had an understanding that nutrition is important for vision. For the vast majority of that time, however, the only connection made was with vitamin A preventing night blindness.
 Mother and grandmothers seemed to know this long before the scientists eventually proved them right. It turns out that vitamin A, technically known as retinol, is needed by the retina for both light sensitivity and colour vision, for several decades that relationship of nutrition to eye health seemed to be the only one science was willing to accept.
 For more than a decade there has been a revolution in our  understanding of the broader connection of nutrition to lifelong eye health and visual acuity. It is now well accepted and understood that eye is a unique organ faced with challenges that no other organ faces.
  Like essentially everything else in the body,how well the eye deals with these challenges and provides us with the essential ability to see clearly, is know to be dependent upon  a wide array of whole food nutrients that  our diet are supposed to provide.
 Science is now showing us which nutrients we need to protect our eyesight and what happens when we don't have enough of them. Here is some of the very latest science telling us about how to plan for lifelong healthy.
  Eyes And Vision
Like everything else in the body, vision is nutrient dependent. A good diet promotes good long term visual health while a poor diet tends to undermine that.
 In your plan to ripe old age don't overlook this key nutrition knowledge; when it comes to clear, crisp lifelong  vision.....diet matter.
 Probably everyone has heard the vitamin A is important for night vision. You may even know that vitamin C  and E protect against clouding of the lens, or that the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin are particularly important to the health of the retina and may protect against age related macular degeneration[AMD]. But the latest vision health discoveries confirm omega 3 fatty acids may be protective against AMD. This powerful evidence reinforces the fact that diet is the strongest tool we can all use to help ourselves and our family  live long, healthy, and fully functional lives.
 The message is clear. Those sahealthmatas111.blogspot.comme whole food nutrients that may fend of chronic disease and maximize our physical and mental functionality throughout  our lives may also protect and promote our most precious sensory system, our eyesight. My recommendations for everyone are simple. Make sure you eat as much fruit, vegetables, whole grains and fish as you can.
