EAT your way to clearer vision? Don’t make this ‘pirate mistake’

Cataracts may come on slowly…

And you may not even notice them much… at least, at first.

But as soon as this condition CLOUDS your vision to the point where you can’t…

get yourself around

read the news, or

clearly see the faces of your grandchildren…

It can feel pretty scary.

Don’t let it get to that point.

Sure, your genes play a role in your risk for developing cataracts…

But they’re not the ONLY determining factor.

In fact, there’s a nutrient that could help CLEAR the clouds in your eyes.

It’s a “pirate vitamin” that you might not think you need MORE of.

Here’s why you might be WRONG.

Cataracts has been called “scurvy of the eye”…

Because one of the hidden culprits behind this vision-robbing condition is a deficiency in vitamin C!

Now, there are many nutrients that our eyes need to stay healthy… including powerful antioxidants.

But when vitamin C in particular collects in eye fluids, it helps SLAM THE BRAKES on the oxidation that could lead to lenses becoming cloudy.

In a 2016 study out of London, researchers found that 60-year-old gals who consumed higher levels of vitamin C had a 20% reduced risk of developing cataracts, compared to those who consumed lower levels.

Ten years later, that risk was even MORE GREATLY reduced… to 33% less.

Now, if you’re genetically PREDISPOSED to developing cataracts… you may not be able to beat them back FOREVER.

But you might be able to DELAY their onset… and SLOW their progression.

There is, however, a challenge to this.

There are factors that could make our levels of vitamin C take a NOSEDIVE…

And it’s not just age.

OTHER situations that could NEGATIVELY impact your body’s ability to use vitamin C properly include excessive smoking…

Chronic use of certain drugs, like aspirin and acetaminophen…

And high blood sugar.

As you know, high blood sugar could DESTROY vision with complications like diabetic retinopathy…

But research shows that diabetics are 2-5X MORE likely to develop cataracts…

And EARLIER in life!

According to one leading researcher, cellular damage resulting from vitamin C deficiency is “indistinguishable” from that of RADIATION!

Now, you might think that scurvy may be a disease OF THE PAST…

But there are more Americans afflicted by it than you might think.

And even if your vitamin C levels aren’t LOW enough to earn a scurvy diagnosis…

They might not be HIGH enough to beat back cataracts.

Keep an eye on including vitamin C-rich foods in your diet… including citrus fruits and certain berries…

But also veggies like peppers… kale… broccoli… and more.

If you’re not sure if you’re getting enough in your diet, your doc can check your levels.

And if they’re not within an optimal range, don’t be shy about taking a supplement.

Other nutrients to look at to improve your odds against cataracts include vitamin A and lutein and zeaxanthin.
