			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our eyes are vulnerable to some diseases as we age. When we are over forty, we may suffer from presbyopia; when we are over fifty, we may suffer from Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), which can always lead to irreversible blindness. Here we are going to introduce something about AMD and some methods of prevention. The mechanism of AMD is the blood vessels in our eyes may become very fragile and the blood flow into our eye tissues. The most direct result is blurriness as a result of macular degeneration. However, as the conditions get even worse, our eyes will be in complete blindness.</p>
<p>That’s to say; once the macular is damaged or thinned, our vision will be influenced. The reason is our retinas are protected by the macular pigment from coming light. The thinner our macular pigment is, the worse our eyes are.</p>
<p>In fact, some substances play very important role in the protection of our eyes. For example, Lutein is a very effective antioxidant substance than are very useful in the protection of macula.</p>
<p>The scientists have not found such a method currently that can be employed in the cure of Macula Degeneration. But prevention is much important than treatment. Some very common methods can be used for the prevention of such diseases. Following are they.</p>
<p>We should first know what AMD is and what the cause of it is. Some bad habits can reduce the density of macula pigment. Such as, smoking and drinking alcohol can be very irritating for the macula; working under too bright light, as the sun and computer, can also reduce the density of the pigment. As mentioned above that lutein is very effective antioxidant substance which can help slow the process of macula degeneration. In this sense, it is very essential for us to intake foods that are abundant with lutein.</p>
<p>In fact, other materials can also help to slow the process of AMD. Thus, we should intake more other vitamins and mineral, while ingesting lutein.</p>
<p>Some eye doctors recommend that there are four substances that are vital for the health of our eyes.</p>
<p>The first one is, no doubt, lutein that is a kind of very effective antioxidant substance. It is very nice for us to use some lutein pills that are extracted from marigold plant. It is true that these pills are expensive, but effective.</p>
<p>The matter of fragility in the blood vessels can also be prevented by taking Bilberry in which flavanoids and anthocyanin are contained. Our eye muscles can be benefited a lot from this substance. Taking such pills everyday is essential.</p>
<p>The problem of bad elasticity in the blood vessels can also be avoided by intaking some grape seeds extract. If our blood vessels lose their elasticity, we will suffer a lot. These pills can help prompt the circulation of our blood. Take some everyday.</p>
<p>The commonest Vitamin C is still very important, for it is essential for the synthesis of some tissues. Like lutein, it is also an antioxidant substance. Take some Vitamins C pills everyday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lutein is one of the carotenoids that are found in many plants and animals.  Other pigments in the same family include zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, lycopene, beta-carotene and alpha-carotene. Although lutein and zeaxanthin are most commonly thought to benefit the eyes, other pigments also have antioxidant activity in the human body.</p>
<p>During the past several years, most eye doctors or nutritionists recommended a single-ingredient lutein supplement. They think this kind of supplement is beneficial to the eyes, because lutein is most highly concentrated in the retina. And some lutein supplement promoters are airing ads on television. But latest studies have shown other results.</p>
<p>It is true that some earlier studies have proved the effectiveness of lutein supplement or the combination of lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients alone can reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. These studies have considerably promoted the prevalence of lutein supplements.</p>
<p>However, a recent study revealed something different. It compared the blood level of various antioxidants in people with and without macular degeneration. Researchers found that people with high levels did not have macular degeneration. The result is that the total blood levels of carotenoids offer proper protection against the disease.</p>
<p>Supplement products on the market are quire disappointing. A shocking fact is that some lutein supplements as well as vitamins are synthetic. These vitamins can be basically plastic. In particular, most commercial lutein products at low prices are synthetic.</p>
<p>As mentioned before, astaxanthin is another less common antioxidant associated with macular degeneration prevention. A wholesaler of natural astaxanthin named ALGA technologies reveals that nearly all commercial astaxanthin is made of petrochemical sources synthetically.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that these synthetic chemicals have no benefit to human body. But many customers are told to take these supplements on a daily basis. They believe that these lutein supplements as well as multi-vitamins are good for their health. In conclusion, natural sources of these nutrients should be chosen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bilberry is type of berry which is very essential for the eyesight. It has been used over the years to help improve one’s eyesight.

It is sold at an affordable price, so you will have the opportunity to buy as much bilberry extract as you want to improve your eyesight.</p>
<p>The good part is that bilberry is completely safe and it can be taken by anyone irrespective of your age or health condition. It is a super fruit which contains high amount of antioxidant and it will also aid to boost the circulation of blood all over the body. If you are not taking this super fruit, then you must be missing a lot.</p>
<p>This fact is that bilberry is not only good for the eyes, but there are more than five health benefits of consuming this berry. During the First World War, the US air force ate a large quantity of bilberry and these enabled them to see more clearly to carry out bombing strikes very well. It really helped because their night and day were improved as a result of this. This was one of the incidents which brought about the popularity of bilberry as good types of berry for the eyes.</p>
