EYE HEALTH

Many nutrients affect the eyes. Vitamins A and E can help keep eyes healthy. Vitamin A & beta-carotene have been shown to help prevent cataracts & macular degeneration and have long been known to prevent night blindness. Bilberry, a European species of blueberry, can enhance vision & adaptation to the dark, as well as improve capillary circulation, especially in the retina of the eyes. Bilberry is useful for the treatment & prevention of visual deterioration that can come with advancing age from cataracts, diabetes, hardening of the arteries, and age-related macular degeneration. For many years natural practicing physicians have use rutin, the bioflavonoid found in buckwheat, for glaucoma.
