There are many supplements and vitamins that have shown to be beneficial for individuals with wet and dry macular degeneration.
What foods reverse macular degeneration? I've listed some of the finest possibilities below based on my personal study.
Lutein and zeaxanthin
These two nutrients, which are found in leafy green vegetables, eggs, and certain types of fish, are important for maintaining healthy vision. They may help reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration and slow its progression.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, may help reduce inflammation in the body and protect against AMD macular degeneration.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E, which is found in nuts and seeds, eggs, and certain types of vegetable oil, may help protect against macular degeneration.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C, which is found in citrus fruits and other types of fruit and vegetables, may help reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration.
Zinc:
Zinc, which is found in legumes, nuts and seeds, and whole grains, is important for maintaining healthy vision.
It's critical to note that while these supplements and vitamins may be beneficial for individuals with macular degeneration, they should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It's also important to speak with a healthcare professional about the the level of dosage and any potential interactions with other medications. In addition to supplements and vitamins, it's also important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, which can help protect against the development and progression of macular degeneration.
