Discover the Benefits of Fish Oil

Researchers had believed that one of the benefits of fish oil might be a reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration, the primary cause of blindness in the elderly.  Because preliminary research looked promising, multiple studies were conducted.  The results of the latest were recently released.

Increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids may reduce your risk of both the wet and dry types of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by as much as 38%.  Improving your nutritional intake in other ways may further reduce your risk.

For example, many researchers have been interested in the benefits of increased intake of lutein and zeaxanthin for the prevention and the treatment of AMD.  Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants found in leafy green vegetables.  The best known sources are kale and collard greens.

Kale is a member of the cabbage family, but it does not form a head.  Collard greens are a member of the same family of vegetables.  It’s a dark leafy green that is particularly popular in the southern US.

Researchers began to look at the benefits of lutein and zeaxanthin, because they are major components of the retina, which is the light gathering mechanism inside of the eye that connects to the optic nerve, which is connected to the brain.  If everything goes well with that connection, we see.  In AMD, the retina and specifically a small area of it called the macular, loses its ability to transmit the signals.

In dry AMD, there are yellow plaques that fog the retina and the macula.  In wet AMD, there is damage to existing blood vessels and growth of new ones.  The new ones are weaker.  So, they burst very easily.  Bleeding behind the retina causes it to detach.  The result can be blindness.

In both types of AMD, the eventual result can be blindness.  Usually, the central vision is lost first.  In almost all cases, some peripheral vision is retained.

Wet AMD is sometimes a complication caused by diabetes, due to the damage that is done to small blood vessels in the disease.  Dry AMD is sometimes hereditary.  Other risk factors include high cholesterol levels, high intake of dietary fats, high blood pressure, obesity, cigarette smoking, oxidative stress and overexposure to sunlight.

There are five primary causes of cellular aging throughout the body.  The first four are glycation, oxidation (free radical damage), inefficient methylation and inflammation.  Those eventually lead to the fifth, which is DNA damage.  Each of those factors are interrelated and related to the risk factors of AMD.

In diabetes, there is glycation and inflammation.  In oxidative stress, cigarette smoking and overexposure to sunlight, there is free radical damage.  High cholesterol, high blood pressure and high intake of dietary fats are often associated with obesity.  In obesity, there is glycation, inflammation and free radical damage.

Increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as your intake of fruits and vegetables, including kale and collard greens, while increasing your level of physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight can lower your risk of all kinds of age-related diseases.

Fog $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Fog is a cloud that is in contact with the ground. A cloud may be considered partly fog; for example, the part of a cloud that is suspended in the air above the ground is not considered fog, whereas the part of the cloud that comes in contact with higher ground is considered fog. Fog is distinguished from mist only by its density, as expressed in the resulting decrease in visibility: Fog reduces visibility to less than 1 km, whereas mist reduces visibility to no less than 1 km but less than 2 km. For aviation purposes in the UK, a visibility of less than 2 km but greater than 999 m is considered to be mist if the relative humidity is 95 or greater below 95 haze is reported.The foggiest place in the world is the Grand Banks off the island of Newfoundland, the meeting place of the cold Labrador Current from the north and the much warmer Gulf Stream from the south. The foggiest land areas in the world are Menomonie, Wisconsin, Point Reyes, California, and Argentia, Newfoundland and Labrador, all with over 200 foggy days per year.
