Curing UV

b>Our eyesight is a precious sense...

We often take our eyesight for granted, specially when we are young; but as we age, we become more and more interested in preserving it. More money is spent on dietary supplements for eye health than for nearly any other supplement category, except for weight loss.

Until recently, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) was a discouraging eye disorder. Most patients were told that nothing could be done to improve their vision. Scientific studies now show that AMD can be prevented, and in some cases, reversed with nutritional supplements and dietary changes.

The human retina is about the size of a postage stamp and the macula only about the size of a pencil tip. Hundreds of millions of light-receptor cells are found within this small area. Cone cells detect color vision and are located in the macula. Rod cells detect black and white for night vision. The cone cells are located in the center of the retina and are used for reading and fine central vision. The rods are in the periphery of the retina and are used for night and side vision

Degeneration of the rods results in night blindness, a disease called "retinitis pigmentosa".

Degeneration of the cones results in macular degeneration. Poor circulation is a main cause of degenerating vision. In AMD, the capillaries of the macula become weak and blood serum leaks behind the retina, causing inflammation and vision distortion.

As the disease progresses, the capillaries continue to ooze behind the retina, and eventually, blindness results.

The combination of nutrients in FOREVER VISION has been shown to improve night vision and prevent AMD.

FOREVER VISION contains five primary nutrient categories that make this new product so effective:

- Carotenoids, including lutein, Beta Carotene, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin are highly-colored plant pigments that provide specialized antioxidant protection to the eye.

- Polyphenols from bilberry and resveratrol protect the fragile tissues and capillaries of the eye from the damage caused by oxidative stress.

- Vitamins, including Vitamins C and E, help keep the tissues of the eye elastic and flexible.

- Minerals, including Zinc and Copper, form the core of antioxidants produced within the eye itself.

- Unique amino acids provide the eye with building blocks for the manufacture of glutathione peroxidase, a powerful free-radical scavenger.

Antioxidant protection is the functional core of FOREVER VISION. Healthy eyes contain antioxidant levels 20 times as high as in other tissues of the body. These concentrations often suffer from our poor eating habits.

Indeed, some 75% of us do not ingest enough carotenes, polyphenols, or trace minerals to support healthy eye function throughout our lives. The retina benefits directly from the highly-colored carotenes and polyphenols found in FOREVER VISION. These pigments absorb ultraviolet light and protect against damage due to overexposure to sunlight.

Other natural pigments, including melanin, are supported by healthy levels of plant pigments.

As we age, the membranes and tissues of the eye lose flexibility, requiring many of us to wear bifocal lenses. FOREVER VISION provides vitamins that supply the building blocks for the production of glutathione peroxidase, a natural antioxidant which prolongs the life of the membranes and tissues of the eye. The rods and cones in the retina are connected to a nerve layer which transmits visual signals from the optic nerve to the brain. This layer contains more than 30 times the concentration of antioxidants as other parts of the human body. It is especially sensitive to deficiencies in any one of the antioxidant groups, especially the carotenes. Since the body does not manufacture these antioxidants, these bright yellow dietary pigments must come from the foods we eat, or from the supplements we take.

A recent study showed that 60-year old adults, who had adequate retinal levels of lutein and zeaxanthin, retained the ability to see faint light as well as 20-year old adults.

"The combination of nutrients in FOREVER VISION has been shown to improve night vision and prevent AMD (age-related macular degeneration)."

In addition to taking FOREVER VISION each day, there are some simple rules you can follow in your everyday life that will help you maintain and protect your eyesight.

* Wear Ultra Violet blue-blocking sunglasses when outdoors in daylight.

* Increase your consumption of dark green vegetables and bright colored fruits.

* Avoid hydrogenated fats, as they interfere with the function of essential fatty acids (omega-3).

* Avoid very low-fat diets, which rob the retina of necessary omega-3 fats.

* Eat sulfur-rich foods, such as garlic, eggs, asparagus and onions, which supply protective nutrients to the eye.

FOREVER FREEDOM is another excellent source of sulfur.

Develop a sound foundation of nutrition based on a daily regimen of FOREVER ESSENTIALS and ALOE VERA JUICE or GEL.

While FOREVER VISION cannot restore vision that has already been lost, the nutrients and antioxidants it contains can slow the progression of vision loss. With just two tablets per day, FOREVER VISION is an easy and excellent way to help you keep looking clearly into the future!
