Oily Fish
Oct 28th
The omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish are not only good for their heart health benefits, they have been shown to also benefit eyesight.
Researchers in Europe have found people who regularly ate oily fish at least once a week had half the risk of developing ‘wet’ age-related macular degeneration (AMD) compared with people who ate oily fish less often. AMD is the major cause of adult blindness in developed countries and it’s described as either wet (neovascular AMD) or dry. This research appears to support the theory long-chain omega-3 fats found in fish oils (EPA and DHA) may influence the development of AMD. Previously this theory was only supported by animal and laboratory studies. Over 2000 people aged 65 years or older were involved in this study.
