See Clearly with Fish Oil

Keep your eyes focused and your sight strong by consuming large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, suggests a new meta-analysis—the gold standard in scientific reporting.

The University of Melbourne pooled data from nine studies and found that a high intake of omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by up to 38%. AMD is a degenerative retinal disease that causes central vision loss, leaving only peripheral vision. It’s also the leading cause of blindness. (Chong EW-T, et al. Archives of Ophthalmology. 126(6):826-833, 2008.)

The Anti-Aging Bottom Line: Even though the researchers say that clinical trials should still be done, they hypothesize that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids may be a means to prevent AMD. Try to eat omega-3 rich fish like salmon, sardines or anchovies at least twice a week week. For extra insurance, we strongly recommend a high quality fish oil supplement.
