Macular Degeneration Symptoms - Not So Sweet!
Recently a study found that more than a third of people with AMD were not using supplements or were taking an incorrect dose. If you do have macular degeneration symptoms most experts agree you should be taking certain supplements.
At Macular Degeneration Treatment Tips we’ve researched what supplements are the most helpful for macular degeneration symptoms. We chose a supplement called Visulyn, which is rich in vision-specific nutrients that enhance each other in action.
When we feel our intake of fresh organic fruits and veges is low we also take a multivitamin and mineral supplement for general health. That supplies necessary Zinc, Copper, Vitamins A, C and E (all of which are important nutrients for eye health) as well as Vitamin B etc.
The elements of Visulyn are rarer and hard to find in diet or multivitamins. We decided we can’t afford not to take a specific supplement to protect sight. If you feel the same you can look into Visulyn yourself here.
Also in previous posts we’ve looked at eye health nutrients, and suggested antioxidant nutrition tips including the best food to eat.
Another good food tip is to watch your sugar intake. Avoiding sugar will help your overall health as well as support good eye health.
Cut down on soft drink. There’s about 10 teaspoons of sugar in a standard can of fizzy drink.
Also consider switching to reduced-sugar or sugar-free jam. Standard jams and jellies are made of up to 50% sugar. Have you ever tried a sugar-free jam? There are delicious ones available now that are sweetened with ingredients like grape juice concentrate and natural juices.
But be careful not to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire! Look out for artificial sweeteners in ingredient lists. Some artificial sweeteners need to be used with caution. As always talk to a health professional before you make any changes.
There is strong evidence to show that if you are experiencing macular degeneration symptoms, taking specific eye health nutrients can slow the progression of the disease and even improve vision.
If you don’t have macular degeneration symptoms, it’s well worth strengthening and protecting your eyes now! Start taking Visulyn, and take note of all our tips for your eye health.
