Improve Your Eyes with Blueberries § What is AMD?
AMD
is the main cause of severe visual impairment! 1
out of 8 people
over 60 years of age has AMD to some degree. AMD is short for
Age-related Macular Degeneration, which causes an impairment of the sharp
sight called reading sight. The degeneration happens in the sensing cells
of the yellow spot in your eye (called macula) causing the cells not to
function in the normal way. Two forms of AMD
Dry AMD is the most common form, which develops with an accumulation of toxins and a lack of proper nutrients, especially lack of the natural nutrient Lutein. This will gradually degenerate the yellow spot, which will not be able to function properly, resulting in diminished eyesight.
Wet AMD is less common. The condition is caused by new abnormal blood vessels beginning to grow from behind the retina towards the yellow spot. The small blood vessels will leak blood and lymph, which will harm the yellow spot. This condition is much quicker to develop and will cause a faster loss of eyesight. The older you get, the greater the risk of developing one of the two forms of AMD.
Steps you can take to avoid AMD!
Stop or cut down smoking:
Diet: You should be sure to have a nutritional diet full of vitamins & minerals. Try to include plenty of foods containing special plant ingredients called Flavonoids - the ingredients in food that help eliminate free radicals. Blueberries are a natural source of nutrients that contain high amounts of flavonoids, as are grape seeds and grapes. Another natural ingredient that has proven vital in connection with AMD is Lutein - a pigment found in many berries and plants. Many clinical studies have been carried out to establish the importance of Lutein to your eyes.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE AMD
People suffering from AMD experience one or more of the following symptoms
1. Reduced eyesight (for which glasses are not helping) - most often noticed at shorter distances, such as while reading. Reduced eyesight is often less impaired when looking far away. 2. Distorted forms – i.e. straight lines are crooked or distorted. The size of objects appears larger or smaller than they actually are. 3. A grey or blurred spot is noticed in the middle of your visual field.
HOW DOES BLUE BERRY HELP?
In blueberry there is a multiplied effect of beneficial blueberries with the additional synergetic action of eyebright, grape seed extracts and Lutein. According to clinical studies you should take at least 6 mg. of Lutein per day to support the Macula.
Grape seeds are known to counteract the damaging effects of free radicals, especially in watery environments like your eye. Eyebright benefits the mucous membranes of your eye. Many elderly people have problems with dry eyes and eyebright can help to get a better balance in the mucous membranes and avoid irritation of your eyes.
HOW SHOULD I TAKE BLUE BERRY
Take two tablets daily with a glass of water. Use Blue Berry for at least 2 to 3 months to fully benefit from this product. Changes in your eyes happen gradually, but once gained you may lower the dosages to one tablet a day for further prevention.
