| Researchers
recently found that fruit plays a significant role in
protecting your eyes from age-related macular degeneration
(ARMD), a disease that causes blindness.
Results
of the study showed that people who ate three or more
servings of fruit each day had one-third less risk of
developing severe ARMD compared to those who only ate
one and a half servings of fruit each day.
Along
with fruit, the researchers studied vegetables, antioxidants
(vitamins A, C, and E), and carotenoids, but found that
only the fruit helped protect against the disease. |
