[BREAKING] Put an END to Vision Loss!

Dear Reader,
You’ve probably heard it a million times: your vision failing is just a normal part of aging.
But why on Earth should you just accept that?
Losing your eyesight isn’t just an inconvenience. It can cost you your ability to drive, pick out birthday cards, read signs, watch movies.
In short, it’s the fastest way to lose your independence.
And the fact is, most people suffer vision loss because they aren’t getting the right nutrients their eyes desperately need.
Are you one of them?
More than 3.4 million Americans over the age of 40 are either legally blind (or close to legally blind).
And losing your eyesight increases as you age: nearly 80 percent of blindness occurs in people over the age of 50.
Your eyes are sensitive and are easily harmed by everyday stressors (UV radiation, free radicals…) and diseases rob people of their eyesight.
Common causes of blindness include diabetes, macular degeneration, traumatic injuries, infections of the cornea or retina, glaucoma, and the inability to obtain corrective glasses.
Why are people losing their eyesight as they age?
Dr. Scott’s Better Vision Regimen:
- Vitamin A: This vitamin is crucial for vision and eye health. It is an essential component of rhodopsin–a protein that absorbs light in the retina. It also is vital for the health of the cornea and conjunctival membranes.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: DHA found in fish oil is an Omega-3 fatty acid. The photoreceptors in the retina are made up of 50 percent DHA. I suggest you supplement with one to three grams of fish oil a day.
- Berries: I’m a big fan of berries. They contain many powerful antioxidant compounds. Berries are high in essential vitamins and flavonoids that your eyes need. Studies have shown that blueberries may help with night vision, but so do bilberries and Maqui berries.
- Lutein and Zeaxanthin: These carotenoids are found in colorful fruits and vegetables and help the macula determine color vision.
- Balance Your Blood Sugar: Increases in blood sugar are part of the reason for the cloudiness developing. High blood sugar increases Advance Glycation End-Products (a fancy word for misshapen proteins caused by sugar). If you have problems balancing blood sugar, look to the herbal extract berberine and the mineral chromium.
Your eyes are the windows to the world. If you want to keep your ‘windows’ for your entire life, now is the time to take care of them.
