Vitamin That Prevents Blindness Due To Macular Degeneration Now Available
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), an incurable and life-altering disease, is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in adults. Without prevention and treatment, millions of Canadians may lose their sight due to AMD. Macular Health, a proven eye vitamin supplement created in the United States, is now available in Canada and has the potential to preserve vision for at-risk Canadians.
Macular Health is based on the National Eye Institute’s (NEI) Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), which proved that a supplemental dosage of certain vitamins, minerals and carotenoids were highly effective in slowing vision loss due to AMD. It has been improved upon with the addition of ingredients including FloraGLO lutein, zeaxanthin and bilberry. Recent Multifocal Electroretinogram (MERG) studies conducted at the Callahan Eye Foundation Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama found short-term and long-term vision improvement with the use of Macular Health. Macular Health can now be purchased online at http://www.macularhealth.com.
Start Treating Obesity
The quicker people start treating obesity as a universal threat to public health and economic security that it is, the sooner everyone we’ll see progress. Well, according to the latest study on Americans’ waistlines concludes that the country is getting fatter. The Baby Boomer generation has a higher rate of obesity compared with previous generations, foretelling a coming crisis for Medicare. The report concluded that the first wave of boomers will mean an increase of 5.2 percent to 16.3 percent in states’ populations of obese Medicare patients.
Obese kids, by and large, become obese adults. And obese adults suffer diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease among other persistent conditions at rates far greater than their trimmer friends. Treating such chronic diseases is the black hole of health care costs. Obesity is a symptom of health care woes as much as a cause. It is indicative of a bigger tendency of Americans to not practice the best kind of medicine – prevention.
In a nutshell, health care reforms would not be nearly so expensive if everybody now took better care of themselves. And one alternative to combat and lessen obesity is the use of plant ephedra sinica which has been used for 5,000 years as herbal remedy in traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a powerful thermogenic and dietary supplements used to stimulate the body’s burning of fat. It is a stimulant which constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure and heart rate. It also stimulates the brain and expands the bronchial tube which makes breathing easier while increases metabolism promoting weight- loss.
