Eating fish helps to prevent vision loss

At a time when smoking doubled the risk of blindness among older people but that eat copious amounts of fish helps them to fight against falling prey to this menace.
Was confirmed by modern scientific research in this regard that older smokers are about twice the risk of dementia and network functionality and eye injury, blindness, compared to elderly non-smokers.
Deterioration of the efficiency of the retina is a diseases that affect largely on the function of vision and eye, where one of the most important causes of blindness for people who have crossed sixty years.
The researchers believe can be overcome and reduce the risk of loss of sight by a third in the event of eating copious amounts of fish as well as reduce the negative effects caused by the bad habit of smoking.
Two recent studies have provided another reason to increase our intake of fish, is the prevention of disease "macular degeneration" associated with old age, which is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly.
Is known that fatty acids called "omega-3", found in fish such as salmon, help to maintain the heart and brain healthy.
It adds two studies published in the journal "Archives of Ophthalmology", a new proof shows that those who eat fish also protect their eyes.
Although the studies are considered the strongest evidence is not scientific, but they supported the scientific discoveries emerged from the earlier studies, they have linked consumption of fish and prevention of disease "macular degeneration".
One of the two studies were conducted at 681 U.S. advanced age to prove that the chances of contracting the disease, among those who ate fish twice a week, was less by 36 per cent.
Showed in another study, which included 2335 men and women on the Australian five-year period, the chances of injury when you ate fish only once a week, was less by 40 per cent.
The first study also showed that the risk of developing this disease, which affects the eye when smokers are twice about it when non-smokers.
The disease "macular degeneration" occurrence of cataracts in the center of the eye to see, and then develop into blindness gradually or quickly in some cases, depending on the nature of the disease
