People who want to keep their vision clear as they grow in age, they should regularly eat fish.

Researchers have found that eating fish like salmon & tuna twice a week van prevent you from many eye diseases, the age related muscular degeneration that is said to be the leading cause of blindness.

It is seen that over a time the back part of the eye can degenerate, causes the disease that can also be triggered by new blood vessels growing & bleeding in the region. The omega 3 fatty acid found in fish helps to protect against any sort of eye disease. Progression to both dry and wet forms of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease was 25% less likely among those eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Researchers suggest that eating two to three servings of fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, shellfish & herring every week, would achieve the recommended daily intake of omega-3, which substantially cutting the risk of both early & late stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

People with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who also consumed a low fat diet, eating of foods that release their sugar more slowly & who took supplemental antioxidant vitamins & minerals like vitamin C & zinc appeared to reduce their risk of disease progression by even more by up to 50%.

Most people can safely eat up to four portions a week, but girls & women who might have a baby & those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should limit their intake to two portions a week.
