Nutrition for Improving Vision


Regarding a conversation I recently had:

Nutrition for improving vision -

I have laid out here a succinct list of foods and a couple of supplements that

would be most worthy of implementation. 

The two most important foods that stand apart arebilberries and goji berries. Blending these together with other plants into adrink would be quite effective - though not a really cold drink, especially no ice. Eclectic Institute makes a really good freeze dried bilberry powder as well as tincture.


As for supplements, there are two in particular to incorporate into any eye health regiment. The Dragon Herbs formula known as Eagle Vision is quite interesting  for this purpose because it addresses energetic imbalances associated with the liver that adversely effect eye health. Please visit the web page that explains this formula which is also the page for making the purchase. http://www.dragonherbs.com/prodinfo.asp?number=291


The other supplement to implement is a very special algae(Haematococcus pluvialis), which is sold everywhere now inhealth food stores as Astaxanthin. This algae is eaten by salmonand krill and is responsible for their pinkish hue. Salmon is also a very healthy food to eat as well for eye health. Look for fish thatare high in the fatty acid known as DHA. Please visit this link to learnwhat Dr. Mercola has to say about Astaxanthin: http://products.mercola.com/astaxanthin/


Carrots are protective to the eyes because of the carotenoid pigments

in their cell structure. Other foods that are orange or near orange in hue
that should also be consumed for eye health include the following:
sweet potato, red palm oil, apricots, orange & yellow peppers, pumpkin and 
golden berries (aka Inca berries). Also eating these foods with fatty foods
like avocado could help with absorption. 

The wikipedia entry on carotenoids is worthy of a glance: 


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotenoid


Lastly the implementation of foods that improve circulation will be


important as well: cayenne pepper, ginkgo and hawthorn berries


are some notable examples.
