These types of debilitating eye diseases rob people of vision, and can result in individuals losing their independence.<BR/><BR/>It is believed that the visual system requires up to 25% of the nutrients we take into our bodies in order to stay healthy. Impaired circulation and/or poor absorption of nutrients can significantly contribute to eye disease.<BR/><BR/>There is a great deal of peer review research now showing the vision can be preserved through a proper diet and specific nutritional supplementation.<BR/><BR/>Essential nutrients include lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3 fatty acids, taurine, gingko biloba, lycopene, vitamin A, E, zinc, copper, selenium for example, that can help both prevent the onset of eye disease such as macular degeneration as well as help preserve vision for those with macular degeneration.<BR/><BR/>For more information and specific research studies by eye condition on nutrition and vision, go to www.naturaleyecare.comMichael Edson, MS, L.Ac.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01036217973033829018noreply@blogger.com
