The Hidden Curtain of Macular Degeneration.

There is a curtain descending on some of us which we can , with proper care, slow down and learn to live with. It is the hidden curtain of macular degeneration. In this article I will discuss it and offer a possible solution. The answer lies in good eye nutrition.

In the first place we age and as we age we face the hidden curtain of Macular Degeneration. It is one of those things a good percentage of adults face as they step into middle age. In this posting I will be discussing eye nutrition. I willl also be sending you to a product I feel will address the need.

What Is Macular Degeneration?

When we mention the disease, the term may be new to you. The vast public may not have heard the term. Chances are you have. Your parent or someone you know has had it. The condition has been evident to you.

However, in the second place, when you hear the term, macular degeneration, realize it is not your friend. It is like a hidden curtain. And it is silent and there is no way you can stop it.

Macular degeneration can be caused by a gene which is passed down. Genes are our blueprints which make up what we are. This group of 25,000 in a chain. They are stored in our chromosomes.

Inside each eye there is a light-sensitive structure containing rods and cones. Cones help in our color perception and rods for our night vision. And they need eye nutrition to keep them function correctly.

A Case to Consider-a Need For Eye Nutrition

Jean has a case of macular degeneration. And yet she is in the early stages and is visiting her optometrist. There is something she can do. She has been told she needs some eye nutrition. So far she only has some damage but it is there.

Therefore she needs to take steps to slow down the on-ongoing damage.

Wait a minute. There may be a way to slow it down I wrote about this earlier. There may be a way to get some eye nutrition.

And there is.

Consequently the above video will start you on the path to what this post is trying to say. It will give you a start on eye nutrition and macular degeneration knowledge. It is iomportant you view it and respond, because you need eye nutrition.

So to answer the section name above, what is macular degeneration, it is when the free radicals that get into our body through food and breathing run lose and attack our optic nerve. It causes oxidation which clogs our capillaries in the eye. Our rods and cones start to underperform.

Consequently, the free radicals multiply., It leaves waste. You may have heard of it by the term drusen. Drusen is waste that has not been flushed out because it hasn’t been digested properly.. This waste left behind brings about the death of parts of the macula.

Some Eye Nutrition

But, there is a way to slow down the destruction. It is through proper nutrition and supplementation. It may not be something highly recommended by your local optometrist . it is not a drug, but vitamins.

Let me suggest some. Above here in the last paragraph you can click on the words: it is not a drug, but vitamins.. Here you will find a bottle of vitamins I recommend. When you buy vitamins make sure they are the right type.

May I suggest for your eyes you need a vitamin that has beta carotene which is a carotenoid. Beta carotene helps in the fight against oxidation. They are loaded with anti-oxidants. Also look for the lutein and zeaxanthin in your eye nutrition.

The brands Icaps and Ocuvite should be high on your list. They are great at handling macular degeneration and cataracts.

For a great product you should click on the eye and buy.

Better Sight with Supplements

Our most valued sense, I feel, is our sight. When we take proper care of our eyes we maintain our ability to interact with the world around us. And we can have better sight with supplements.

The Need For Supplements

Because we use our sense of sight to establish reality- what is there or not there- we must not neglect the nutrition of them. Just as we take supplements for the body’s health, the status of the eyes is important.

We daily work with computers draining the vitality out of orbs. Soon our sight blurs and our eye gets dry. We need help.

I have posted an earlier post about a supplement you can take to help. I refer you to that.

We need to seek better sight through supplements. And that supplement should include some basic nutrients. The reason for the supplementation is over time we may also also face the onset of macular degeneration

Needed Nutrients In The Supplement

There are things a good eye supplements should have to do any good. Since we are presently pretty much glued to a computer monitor we are , mostly unknown to us, being bombarded with blue light.

Blue light is not our friend. It is doing harm to our health and especially the health of our eyes. Blue light can mess with your circadian rhythm (our biological clock) and mess with our sleep. But most of all for the purpose of this article, it can cause the problem of age related macular degeneration. It also destroys retinal cells.

Read more about the subject here. It is important you understand.

Important Nutrients to Look For

Therefore when you get and take a supplement for the eyes, make sure it contains Lutein and Zeaxanthin to help your battle against blue light.

On the other hand there is no way we can completely avoid blue light since it is part of the perspective wave length of light we daily live in. Therefore we need a good vitamin we can daily take to help us and our eyes..

On he other hand, you may not care for the offer in the last paragraph but still want to help your eyes. So I can offer you another supplement to improve your eye sight while you are improving your brain health. It is called Ocuprime.

Conclusion

In other words, take care of your eyes and your eyes should last a fairly long time. There are ways to keep your eyes in good condition. Click on the offer above and reduce your exposure to blue light as much as you can and you should be doing fine.

Until the next post. Stay in good health.

Total Gut Health With Probiotics

The Premise- Gut Health

It is possible for us to have total gut health with probiotics. This I believe. Health problems seem to occur because we have a disturbed gut flora.

I understand it is hard for a person to realize that. But everything we consume and drink acts upon our gut. And the gut deals with the stuff we consume and does its best to maintain internal stability.

In the comment section to my site I keep seeing a request I do a part two to the post on sugar and gut health.
I feel that is a good suggestion.

Probiotics Highly Recommended

To clarify, to balance our gut and to stay in a safe , what they call, zone, we need to consider a supplement of a probiotic.

Before I suggest one, let me establish what the gut is and does. I am sure this has been covered some what in my posting which is linked to above.

Consequently a person needs to know it is not just the biosystem of the lower intestine. It is the complete system that runs from the mouth to the anus. Picture a tube reaching from the mouth where the food enters to the butt where it exits.

That may be a simplified picture, but I find it easy to grasp.

The subject is total gut health with probiotics.

What are Probiotics.?

As I was mentioning in an earlier post we should define terms so we know what is being spoken about.

A probiotic is simply a substance which stimulates the growth of good bacteria confirming a health benefit on the host.

Benefits Of Total Gut Health With Probiotics

Our digestive health is effected. Our gut aids in the digestion of food and the breakdown into substances the body can absorb. After all, ultimately it is what we absorb that affects our health.

Our gut also helps in our elimination of feces from the body. This is where the bacteria goes to work.

The Offer of Probiotics

Before I go farther in the posting, i want to offer you the probiotics. I will be giving you a lnk. And you can go in an buy yopurself a good probiotic. I can offer this because I am an affiliate of this market and am allowed to sell this to you. When you use the link and buy the product I am credited with a commission.

The product is Bowtrol Probiotic.

It is very good and is mentioned as one of the top five in one survey.

Benefits of Using A Probiotic

When we use probiotics for gut health we first notice we improve our digestive problems. It will help our gut use the substances. And our memory will somewhat improve. We may find ourselves improve in our mood. For sure it will strengthen our immunity.

Because our gut is being cleansed with a better balance of bacteria through our use of probiotics, we will notice our skin and nails getting a shine.

If we have been having cholesterol problems, our new gut health with probiotics will fight toxins built up in our body and improve our liver function.

Therefore I feel you should click on the link to the probiotic offer and start a new healthy life with your gut. And I will talk about this further in another post.

Shingles Shot Highly Recommended-Here’s Why.

A wise person gets their shingles shot. It is highly recommended.

What Is Shingles?

We hear the word. Shingles. Just what is it? How big a problem is it?

It all depends. What we are looking at when we mention shingles is a type of herpes. Anyone who has had chicken pox may develop a case of shingles.. The virus remains in the body and is dormant.

More about that later.

Shingles Shot

Recently I got my singles shot. It is a two step process. By that , I mean you get the shot and a couple months down the line you get the second one, which is a booster. As a result, you should not have to worry about shingles.

Singles is not bugs. But I could think of no better way to illustrate the idea. What you will get when the virus reactivates and gives you a painful sensation. It will work its way out on one side of your body.

Therefore, for the first few days, I am told, never having had it (yet) , the skin is fine then blisters start to form.

Subsequently, these blisters activate the nerves and you feel pain. You can’t really dress that side of your body. You can’t scratch. Then the blisters burst open, spurting the pus.

Consequently, it is this pus that can transmit the shingles. It is not contagious otherwise.

The Cost Of A Shingles Shot

Shingle shots were being offered at my local CVS. Therefore I was able to get my shot at CVS, with a prescription written by my primary care physician. That makes the shot affordable. It retails for as high as a couple hundred. Yet with the medical orders written , I was covered.

Insurance doesn’t cover it, but I do understand that Medicare will help.

That is to say, be ready to pay something for the shot.

The Need

If what has been said already doesn’t impel you to get one, then let me assure you will not escape the virus. i out of 3 people in the US will get the Vericella Roster Virus. The body can flare up at any time. You will feel tingling and then a burning sensation. There could be numbness and stinging pain. Then the rash.

Once the rash settles on the skin you will have to live with it for weeks and weeks. then when the blister burst and the fluid flows and crusts form over the sores…

You get the picture. It is better to go through a two shot program then wait for the virus. You need the shingles shot

My Conclusion

It is in there, in your body. There are a few things that can bring it on. Stress can bring it on. A compromised immune system can bring it on. Age can bring it on. (Over 50) . It is not pleasant. I have posted in another posting in this series . I am sure you would wish to link the two,

There is something I can offer you to help boost the immune system. Remember, the virus can become active if you have a weak immune system. So I can offer you Curcumin .

And what do I get by offering you this.?

Thank you for asking. Since I am offering you a link to the company that handles this product, and should you buy the item, the company gives me a commission. You get the product. I get the commission or finders fee. Only fair.

Click here and go in and see if this is what you want. Meanwhile, have a healthy life.

And don’t forget to take as look back on the subject of statins by clicking on the word.

Statins and Cholesterol

You need statins and cholesterol control. Your doctor suggests you take a statin for your high cholesterol reading obtained from your blood test. So, we must determine that there is a good reason for him making that suggestion.

Let’s figure he has your best health in mind. He mentions something about stains and cholesterol control.

What are Statins? Call for statins and cholesterol control.

I took a philosophy course when I was in college and learned it is important to define what we are talking about. I was told to define terms. That way we both knew what we were talking about..

Therefore, when we say statin we reference a medication prescribed for cholesterol control. They have been called the gold standard But do we need statins for cholesterol control?

Consequently it seems over one fourth of Americans over 40 are currently on a stain. That means 38.6 million Americans are taking a statin. That is an awful lot of people.

What Are The Statins and cholesterol control?

We need these drugs. What can be confusing is when we look looking around we see there is not just one brand of statin out there. And each statin has a generic. I will list them.

I look at the list. To start, first, there is Lipitor which has a generic called Atorvastatin. It is one of the strong statins for cholesterol control. And it is expensive. It is best to go for the generic.

The second one, of which there are five, is Lescol which has a generic in Fluvasatin.

The third one is Lipostat and its generic Pravastatin.

Moving along in our list of stains for cholesterol control we have Crestor and its generic Rossuvastatin.

The last one in our list is Zocor and the generic Simvastatin.

What is Cholesterol?

Therefore let us define cholesterol. It is a waxy substance in your blood which your body needs to build healthy cells. As you know everything good has a bad side effect. An overload of cholesterol is not good for our heart and arteries and this overload is what the doctor is hoping to control through the statin drug. In others words, statins are for cholesterol control.

The gut also regulates the cholesterol in your body. For more about the gut you can click on this sentence.

Benefits of Statins for Cholesterol Control

I ask, just what are the benefits? It has been said they may help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. That is one purpose a statin has.

On the other hand a statin is known to stop the CoQ10 production in the body.

We use CoQ10 in our body to feed the cells and tissues for energy production. So it is advised if you are on statins that you also take extra CoQ10 to supply what is going to be lost by the presence of statins in the body. The lose of CoQ10 lowers the level of enzyme in the body and opens one up to the risk of heart problems.

But wait. The reason we take the statin, we have been told, is to cut down on the chance of a heart attack.

So, consequently, we roll the dice and hope for the best. Statistics have shown only 1% of the population who take statins find them effective. therefore, it is highly advised you take a CoQ10 supplement if you take statins for cholesterol control.

Call For Action

Therefore, we have a decision to make. We have been determined to have high blood pressure. We have been determined by our doctor, after he has reviewed your blood panel, to have an abnormal level of cholesterol. He has prescribed for you a stain. You trust your doctor.

Therefore, I would suggest you keep up your morning routine of supplements with your breakfast meal. Don’t forget the CoQ10.
