Nourish Your Eyes
Do you use reading glasses? Do you notice more glare at night when you drive? Is your vision as sharp as it used to be? It may be time to protect your vision with effective natural ingredients.
If you don’t eat enough spinach and most of us don’t eat enough foods, like spinach, that contain important eye nutrients like lutein. Lutein and zeaxanthin—are the only carotenoids that are concentrated in the lens and the macula of the eye. These yellow and orange colored pigments give the macula its yellow tint. High levels promote macular pigment density, a key indicator of eye health. The macula is located in the center of the retina and provides the sharp, central vision necessary for reading, driving and seeing fine detail.
Lutein works by filtering out potentially damaging, high-energy blue light and it helps protect the eyes from: unstable molecules (free radicals) that can cause tissue damage.
Taking lutein has an added bonus—it improves skin hydration, elasticity and skin lipid content. The lutein we use comes from one of the richest sources—marigold flowers and petals (Tagetes erecta).
My eye doctor will be seeing me three times a year and an appointment with him is a full day of being shuffled from one room to another and finally an examination by the doctor. There will be about two rooms of people, about 65 people over age 50 and I entertain them with the research I have done. Dr. Dilip Patel, M.D. is from India and likes to tell people that the best healer is mother nature. He encourages them to go to my web site and he asks me for more information about the way I use herbs, vitamins and minerals -what they do for you and what foods to eat to be get those benefits. I don’t eat Marigolds, but I do love the flower and keep the seeds for the following year. However, I do buy Wyman’s Wild Blueberries in a three-pound plastic bag with a self-sealing device. I place a scoop of Wild Blueberries in my Large Flake Oatmeal with diced apples and cinnamon. The wild blueberries are a antioxidant powerhouse. Like bilberries, they are a rich source of anthocyanins that act as antioxidants. Studies show that blueberries rank among the highest in antioxidant activity when compared to more than 100 other foods. Bilberry and night vision:
During the night missions in World War II, pilots experienced an improvement in night vision after eating bilberry jam. These observations led to clinical studies on the effects of bilberry.
Researchers discovered bilberry has a high antioxidant content from anthocyanins. Flavonoids contain a specific affinity for the eyes, especially the retina. Anthocyanins may provide protection caused by exposure to UV sunlight, as well.
The newest protection for the human eye are the new HD Night-Vision wrap around. Who would think there would be a time when we would be wearing sunglasses at night and even in the casino to prevent the damage caused by UV light and radiation. They were originally in the $45 range, but now I can get them for $10 at the local "as seen on TV" pharmacy.
Yes, they do have Ultimate Eye Formula pills, if you prefer. I still like the taste of the real food and the pharmacist is one I can trust~the creator of all the universe.
And so I would recommend you support long-term eye health by protecting your eyes and nourishing them with foods like spinach, wild blueberries and bilberry.
People who wear contacts or glasses
People who drive at night
Regular computer users and slot machine users of video screens.
People whose eyes get a lot of sun exposure
People who smoke or drink alcohol.
Especially for those who want to protect visual function as they age
It is amazing how much information can be gleaned from a vitamin catalog. I just prefer the naturopathic approach that involves eating the right foods. Today, I ate herring with some salad and olive oil and vinegar, stir fry broccoli, with Wonton Soup and baby corn, carrots, peas and water chestnuts. We finished our evening with a cup of Jasmine Tea and some Ginger Snaps.

Everything you eat should be considered in the context of overall use to your body in maintaining your health and vitality. Strengthen your immune system with Grape Seed Extract or Pine Bark Extract and you may not have to spend all your money on treating the illness afterwards, or waiting in the doctor’s office for one or two hours.
