Which key foods, vitamins, and daily habits preserve vision and prevent macular degeneration as we age?
There is more to the color of the foods that we eat than meets the eye, reveals ophthalmologist Dr. Rani Banik.
For example, the macula at the back of the eye draws its yellow color from the carotenoids, lutein, and zeaxanthin in foods like bell peppers and mangos, she says.
We need the macula to make out the details of objects: “It’s responsible for our highest resolution vision,” says Banik, who emphasizes nutrition in preventing eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
It’s the lutein and zeaxanthin in egg yolk, she adds, that gives the food its distinctive orangy-yellow color and which make it a source of eye health.
“Some of the common summer fruits such as peaches, nectarines—[these] bright yellow, orange ... fruits are very rich in these ocular pigments.”
Banik joins Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon to reveal how macular degeneration and other hallmarks of eye damage and aging can be prevented and, in some cases, improved through certain nutrients and living habits.
Banik talks about a patient with a family history of blindness, who had just been diagnosed with intermediate-stage macular degeneration.
What results did he see from following her “macular-degeneration diet” and making certain lifestyle changes?
Which foods and nutrients best preserve eye health? Which type of sunglasses best protect against UV-ray damage to the eyes?
We probe these and other aspects of natural eye health on Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon.
Banik is a neuro-ophthalmologist and practitioner of functional medicine, which aims at treating the root cause of disease, often through diet and lifestyle changes.
