The
ability to watch our children play, to appreciate a rainbow, or to enjoy the
colors of a dancer's dress may seem like simple pleasures. However, good
vision is often taken for granted until it is lost. The yeses are subject
to more intense light radiation and oxygen than any other tissue in the
body, and this creates a tremendous amount of oxidative damage. Impaired
vision is now not only a problem associated with aging. Our youth spend
hours behind computer screens and television sets, putting undue hardship on
their eyes as well. One solution to the threat of compromised eyesight is
targeted nutritional supplementation for the health of the eyes -
Heritage Vision.
The extent to which diseases of the eyes affects people is not common
knowledge, until one is affected by one of these problems personally.
Twenty percent of preschoolers have been found to have treatable eye
conditions, and these conditions would not be discovered without adequate
screening.
Other conditions such as
cataracts, glaucoma, retinopathy and macular degeneration tend to surface
over age, particularly after the age of 40. Eight million Americans are at
risk for blindness because of age-related macular degeneration, which is an
irreversible disease. One in 12 people over the age of 40 who have diabetes
will go blind due to diabetic retinopathy. A National Institute of Health
study of over 4,500 Mexican-Americans discovered that 15% of the subjects
did not even know they had diabetes, and almost one quarter of these also
had diabetic retinopathy. The numbers are clear: we must take action
ourselves to prevent eye diseases from becoming a part of our lives.
Heritage Vision supports
healthy eyes by providing nutritional support from powerful antioxidants in
the form of carotenoids, and the most famous herb for eye health,
Eyebright. This herb's Latin name, Euphrasia, is a Greek word meaning
'gladness'. This name was given to the plant because of its valuable
properties as an eye medicine, preserving eyesight and therefore bringing
gladness to the life of the consumer of the plant. Currently, Eyebright is
the most popular single herb used to improved eye health on the market.
In addition to Eyebright,
Heritage Vision also includes a blend of three members of the carotenoid
family: beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. These are all natural,
fat-soluble plant pigments that provide the yellow and orange colors for
many plants. For example, beta-carotene is the carotenoid that is
responsible for the orange color of carrots, and lutein and zeaxanthin are
found in the golden color or the marigold flowers. Beta-carotene is
well-known for promoting eye health, in particular due to its powerful
antioxidant properties directly related to the eyes. Low levels of
beta-carotene intake are strongly associated with a higher incidence of
cataracts. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in concentrations 1,000 times
greater in the macula section of the retina than in any other tissue in the
body, and are the only two carotenoids that have been identified in the lens
of the eyes. Studies have found that the highest concentration of
zeaxanthin is in the center of the macula, whereas the lutein is on the
edges, and here they absorb the very high energy and most damaging portions
of the light spectrum (ultraviolet blue), which is a critical function for
eye health.
Protecting our vision now, with the targeted nutritional supplementation
found in Heritage Vision, is a must for everyone, young and old
alike. By the time any symptoms of eye problems occur, it often is too late
to reverse the damage done. Prevention is the key to maintaining our
eyesight, and Heritage Vision is the tool to use for this purpose.
