Can certain foods and supplements prevent macular degeneration?

Eating a healthy diet is important for eye health. In fact, a recent study showed that people over age 50 who ate at least three servings of fruit a day were less likely to develop macular degeneration than those who ate only one-and-a-half daily servings. I recommend taking 500 milligrams daily of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, the ultimate form of Omega-3 fatty acids in humans), to help prevent macular degeneration.

Why? If you're deficient in a substance called it can delay the conductor system that converts light energy to neural energy in the retina-a process that's faster than a computer chip. There's also some evidence to suggest that Omega 3s can help improve dry eyes.

Also, large study sponsored by the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health found that people who with macular degeneration had a more than 25-percent reduction in the risk of vision loss if they took the below vitamins daily (in divided doses): 500 milligrams of vitamin C400 IU of vitamin E15 milligrams of beta-carotene80 milligrams of zinc2 milligrams of copperThe study wasn't designed to show if taking the vitamins could prevent macular degeneration in the first place. And unfortunately, taking the vitamins did not prevent dry macular degeneration from becoming wet macular degeneration. Lutein is also an important nutrient for eye health.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
