I’m a great lover of citrus fruits. Nothing tastes better on a hot summer day than the tangy sweet taste of antioxidant-rich oranges, grapefruits and tangerines.

But despite popular belief, it’s not just a hefty dose of vitamin C that makes these fruits so good for you. They also contain a powerhouse of antioxidant flavonoids that have antiviral, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities.

If that’s not reason enough to eat more citrus, there’s another benefit that will certainly capture your attention.

It turns out that the flavonoid hesperidin, which is particularly high in oranges, may very well help protect against macular degeneration.

Now age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, is one of the most devastating eye conditions today. It interferes with your sharp, central vision. So when you look straight ahead, things look blurred and distorted. This makes it difficult to read, drive and even recognize faces.

Worse, AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people over 60 years of age. And, to date, there is no cure for it. It’s not reversible. But there are ways to protect your eyes from this sight-robbing disease.


Improve blood flow in your arteries even if they’re clogged with plaque!

About half of all Americans age 40 or older have cholesterol build-up in their arteries.

Blocked arteries can cause serious health issues – everything from high blood pressure and fatigue, to stroke and heart attack – and a host of other illnesses, including ED.

While cleaning out the plaque is next to impossible, there is another solution: relax your arteries so they widen and can allow blood to flow unimpeded.

There’s a simple, naturally occurring molecule in your body with the chemical symbol NO that enhances arterial blood flow. Unfortunately, your NO levels can decline by up to 75% as you age.

But now, modern science has discovered a new, 100% natural way to raise NO levels in your body – now available in a safe pill you take daily to make your arteries more supple and elastic.

Help blood flow more easily through your entire body today!

Compound in Oranges Slashes Risk of Macular Degeneration up to 60%

One of the longest running studies on eye health is the Blue Mountains Eye Study. Over the past 25+ years, this body of research has provided a great deal of information on how to protect our eyesight as we age.

In the latest analysis, researchers compiled data collected from this long-running study. And they found that people who eat at least one serving of oranges every day have more than a 60% reduced risk of developing late macular degeneration 15 years later.

But it’s not the vitamin C that provides these protective benefits. It’s that all powerful flavonoid called hesperidin that can help preserve your vision. I suspect that there are many reasons for this. Hesperidin is a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger that can restore the health of injured nerve cells. Just as importantly, it appears to inhibit blood vessel growth which may help prevent leaky blood vessels behind the macula.

With all of this in mind, I have a great recommendation to help you preserve your vision as you age: Eat an orange every day!

But for top-notch results, don’t stop there…

5 More Nutrients that Protect your Eyesight

In addition to the eye-protecting benefits of hesperidin, there are several other nutrients that can protect against AMD – and even help prevent it from progressing if caught early enough.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are two of them. When you lack these carotenoids it can cause your macula to thin and degenerate. But when you get plenty of them, they protect the macula by absorbing the harmful rays from the sun. They also act as powerful antioxidants to shield your eyes from free radical damage.

Additionally, people with the highest intakes of lutein and zeaxanthin are less likely to develop drusen (yellowish deposits made of fats, protein and cell waste that collect under your retina) and leaky blood vessels behind the macula. They also have a greatly reduced risk of developing AMD.

Dark leafy greens like organic kale, turnip greens, collards, spinach and chard can all boost your lutein and zeaxanthin levels.

Taurine is the most abundant amino acid in the retina, lens, cornea and iris of your eyes. Most importantly, it protects specialized cells that send the images you see to your brain. If you suffer from vision problems, it could be because these cells aren’t getting the protection they need. You can get taurine from fish, shellfish, meat and lamb.

Zinc is a nutrient that probably doesn’t strike you as “eye-food.” After all, most people take zinc to fight off colds. But it’s also important to the health of the retina. You see, when you’re short on zinc it makes it harder for your eyes to adjust to the dark. This makes it difficult to see things when you go from a well-lit area into a room that’s much darker. Meat, lamb, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, cashews and lentils all contain zinc.

Omega-3 fatty acids protect the nerve cells in the retina by shutting down oxidative stress, inflammation and abnormal blood vessel formation. Alpha lipoic acid protects the DNA in the cells in your eyes and helps boost oxygen delivery to the tiny capillaries responsible for blood flow.

Even simple nutrients like vitamins A, C and E can make the difference when it comes to preserving your eyesight or losing it.

And don’t forget your sunglasses! The more unprotected sun exposure your eyes have, the thinner your macula becomes. The UV rays from the sun also trigger the production of drusen. Look for a pair that bears a label stating that they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. They’re going to cost a little more, but they can still be stylish and comfortable.
