GO EXOTIC!! Antioxidants may be found in a number of exotic foods. Such antioxidants may include green tea & goji berries, which have a Chinese origin. Indian food, known for its curry spice, have antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. The French are known for their love of wine, which contains resveratrol, having some anti-oxidant properties, as well as cardio-protective benefits.In addition to a good diet and possible nutritional supplementation, lifestyle changes are beneficial in decreasing the prevalence and progression of AMD. These include smoking cessation, controlling blood pressure, exercising, maintaining a proper body mass index (BMI), avoiding processed foods, and limiting foods that have a high glycemic index (such as processed foods). In absence of health related issues or contraindications, addition of various vitamins, minerals, and herbs through a well-balanced diet may play a key role in helping in the fight against AMD. As always, getting a regular eye exam is still a must.

ReplyDeleteI never knew that some exotic foods have nutritional components that are good for the eyes. I guess the reason why I still have good eyesight is because I love eating curry.
