Ocular
Nutrition: Eye Care & Clear Vision Begin on the Inside
 Eyesight
is one of our treasured five senses. Without it, we can’t
see our loved ones, we can’t drive a car, and we would have
a hard time appreciating the world around us. Non-sighted people
keenly develop their other senses to compensate for their condition,
while some of us with good eye health find even the temporary irritation
of “something in our eye” to be a total nuisance and
distraction.
Improving
Eyesight & Preventing Eye Disease
Japanese research
shows that eye deterioration—especially the formation of cataracts,
the leading cause of impaired vision—is linked to the lack
of L-Gutathione, a powerful antioxidant. The nutrient lutein is
also known as important to eye health and vision. As we age or sometimes
sooner, many other ailments can disturb our eye health as well:
glaucoma, detached retinas, macular
degeneration, and a host of other deterrents to good sight.
Even though you may try to enhance eye health by eating certain
foods, you might not consume enough of the antioxidants and nutrients
your eyes need through the years.
