Saving Sight with Good Nutrition

The Social Security Administration may provide disability benefits if you are visually impaired and unable to work because of your condition. If you or someone you love is visually impaired, contact an Atlanta disability lawyer who can help determine if you are eligible for Social Security disability benefits.

Many people in the course of their lives will experience some degree of vision loss caused by age-related macular degeneration, along with other types of diseases that can affect vision.

It's fairly widely accepted that good nutrition can affect the cost of healthcare in the long run by reducing the incidence of various health problems. New research has shown that not only does good nutrition lead to a healthier life but it can help save your sight.

One particular study showed that a low-carb diet with a low glycemic index demonstrated a protective measure against eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration.

The most protective nutrients that may help save sight included:

• vitamin E;
• zinc;
• vitamin C;
• zeaxanthin;
• omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA); and
• lutein.

If you or someone you love suffers from a severe mental or physical disability, you may be eligible to receive Social Security disability benefits. Contact an Atlanta disability lawyer who can help determine eligibility.
