Reduce Age-Related Macular Degeneration Risks With Kale
Here’s a random macular degeneration stat for the day.A recent study from the The National Eye Institute found that you can decrease your risk for blindness due to Age-Related Macular Degeneration by 35% by ingesting more of the carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which can be found in abundance in both eggs, spinach, and kale among others. Unfortunately I don't know if this ertains to dry macular degeneration or wet macular degeneration or both... but hey, it can't hurt to eat more kale.
…and related to eye care and decreasing your risk for long-term eye damage, remember that if you have glaucoma stay clear of situations where your eye pressure is increased such as wearing goggles when exercising.
