Nuts, Olive Oil And Fish To See Into The Future

greatly reduce the chances of suffering from eye disease when old

Another study which shows the impact of healthy diet on good health in old age claims that by beating regular amounts of nuts, fish and olive oil you can greatly reduce the chances of suffering from eye disease and poor vision when old.

The study which comes after scientists looked at almost two and a half thousand volunteers in Australia who kept detailed records of their diets over a two year time period shows that those people who ate healthily suffered from less age-related macular degeneration (AMD) than those individuals who hate unhealthily.The researchers adjusted the data to take into account gender, age and smoking habits and saw a clear correlation between consuming fish once a week and an almost 1/3 reduced risk of suffering from AMD at an early age. Even more simply by eating one or two portions of nuts a week the risk of early AMD was reduced by 35 percent.

The scientists reckon that the omega-three fatty acids which are found in these foods are thought to keep arteries in good shape because they reduce the amount of inflammation. Omega three fatty acids are also credited with being responsible for lower rates of erectile dysfunction which is also primarily an arterial medical problem. The Mediterranean diet which consists of olive oil, fish and nuts in generous quantities has also been linked to good health in old age. The Italian people who follow their age old diet often come out top in health surveys worldwide. Natural fats are far more healthy than processed fats which are often found in modern diets.

Healthy eating lowers the chances of you suffering from practically every single disease known to man. The research which was authored by Ms Jennifer Tan at the University of Sydney in Australia was published in the clinical journal, Archives of Ophthalmology.
