Slows Macular Degeneration and can Prevent Cataracts
We all know that Vitamin C is important for general good health. And new research shows that regular Vitamin C intake has direct benefits for our eyes as well.
Humans are one of the few species that can not make their own Vitamin C. We have to get it from foods such as fruits (citrus, tropical, berries) and vegetables (green leafy vegetables and potatoes). Multiple studies done recently show that age-related cataracts can be prevented by the intake of Vitamin C. And a large scale study done on macular degeneration showed that Vitamin C was one of the major vitamin supplements that slowed down the rate of vision loss.
How much should you take? Make sure you have several servings of the above mentioned fruits and vegetables daily, and your optometrist may recommend additional supplementation if you show risk factors for cataracts or macular degeneration.
