Description

As children, we were told to eat our carrots if we wanted good eyesight. Carrots contain beta-carotene, which the body can convert into vitamin A—a necessary nutrient for optimal vision. For most of us, that’s were our knowledge of vitamins and eye health stops. Over the last twenty years, many studies have demonstrated that certain foods and natural supplements can play a major role in the treatment of eye problems. From the best-selling author of Smart Medicine for Your Eyes comes a new, concise guide to these powerful substances. What You Must Know About Food and Supplements for Optimal Vision Care is divided into three parts. Part One is an overview of nutritional principles. This section explores the function of nutrients that benefit not only the visual system but also the entire body. Part Two provides a list of common eye disorders and includes a brief discussion of each condition, supplying handy charts that detail the nutritional, herbal, and homeopathic treatments that may be used to alleviate each disorder. Part Three offers further guidance by presenting dietary approaches to eye health and providing important information on the interaction of various foods and medications. There is so much you can do to support eye health through good food and wisely chosen supplements. In this helpful and easy-to-use resource, Dr. Anshel provides you with a wealth of information on the most effective natural products and foods available to promote optimal vision. Read more

    • A great resource for both professionals and lay people
This book is now a valuable part of my library, and one which I will use consistently as a resource in helping my clients. It is exactly what it says it is: a handbook full of concise and accurate information about ocular nutrition. And it is a joy to have the information at hand unencumbered by commercialism and personal agendas. Dr. Anshel has no agenda other than ensuring that the right information is out there for those who recognize the importance of whole-body health. Thank you for organizing it so well in one place!

    • good reference but missing some points
I looked over this book. It provides a detailed summary of nutrition and eye problems. A full review would take more time than I have but I noted these points with a quick review: . organization: because most users will be non-technical and focused on trying to solve a problem, I would have the section that discusses the problems first and place the nutritional details in an appendix. . general points: the book should mention that nutrients are like a symphony orchestra - every nutrient must be present in the right range for stuff to work properly. Focusing on one or two as miracle nutrients will not work. . the book should mention that the impact of aging on the intestinal tract is to reduce its efficiency of absorption. This gets worse over time and so older people will not be able to maintain good nutrition by diet alone. . the book should mention there are tests available for almost every nutrient. There are websites where you can run your own tests at your expense or you can ask your doctor to run them. An important test that everyone over 60 should run at least once is a fatty acid profile test. . The book should mention that if you loose the ability to absorb vitamin E from food, the standard vitamin E supplement only contains the alpha varient. You may need to get a supplement that has all 4 varients. You will see this if you run a vitamin E test. . The book could mention that everyone over 60 should have a couple of nutrients checked as part of their annual physical. I suggest zinc, iodine, and B12 (via MMA test). . possible omissions: anything involving infections impacts the immune system. There are 4 main nutrients needed to run this system: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc. When I look at writeups for conditions that involve infections such as stye, the book only mentions vitamin A. Similarly, anything involving inflammation needs these nutrients to keep it under control: vitamin C, vitamin E, omega 3 fatty acids, and selenium. Conditions involving inflammation do not mention selenium. . doses: The book uses what to me are fairly high doses of supplements. When I begin a supplement, I first try a small dose and gradually work my way up to the target dose. Some caution about the doses is in order. . cataracts and iodine: Currently, my only eye problem is cataracts. I have investigated this and found research that says iodine is very important for preventing cataracts. This is because the iodine molecules in the lens absorb the light energy that is incoming thus protecting the lens. I am in good shape with all of the nutrients listed under cataracts in the book so it would not have provided any help. I checked my iodine level - it was low. I corrected it and the cararact seems to have stopped for almost 2 years. . possible error: The book on pg. 7 says little occurs in the large intestine other than absorption of water. This appears to be incorrect. My reference book says that in addition to water; sodium, potassium, vitamin K, biotin, and short chain fatty acids are also absorbed there. In general, anything that not absorbed in the small intestine and is water soluable will be absorbed there. ... show more
