Age-Related Vision Loss Prevented By Fish Oil

[أشرف777]

An omega-3 fatty acid found in fish, known as DHA, prevented age-related vision loss in lab tests, demonstrates recently published medical research from the University of Alberta.

Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry researcher Yves Sauve and his team discovered lab models fed DHA did not accumulate a toxic molecule at the back of the eyes. The toxin normally builds up in the retina with age and causes vision loss.

"This discovery could result in a very broad therapeutic use," says Sauve, whose work was recently published in the peer-reviewed journal Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science.

"In normal aging, this toxin increases two-fold as we age. But in lab tests, there was no increase in this toxin whatsoever. This has never been demonstrated before - that supplementing the diet with DHA could make this kind of difference."

The team recently started another study, looking at people who have age-related macular degeneration (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/152105.php) (AMD), a condition that results in the loss of central vision and is the main cause of blindness in those over the age of 50. The researchers will look for DNA markers in the blood of study participants. The team wants to determine if participants with certain genetic markers will respond better to increasing amounts of DHA in their diet and if so, why.

the oméga 3 is good for many disease
They are the key to health. And besides Inuit and Japanese consumers of fish, are less affected by cardiovascular disease. They have a beneficial effect on brain activity and consequently, if you do "not want to be in Alzheimer few years, you need omega 3 because the brain is the organ most body fat and omega 3 represent 15 to 20% of these fats. They would have a preventive effect on cancer, to have nice skin, and so on.
They are so good that I wonder how did our grandfathers to come to 100 years, and they were many, and yet they did not know the Omega 3. And transport did not favor, as now, the delivery of appropriate fish and we did not find in abundance in the center of our country."

I think so, but, this is relative also as you know, no concept is 100% sure. I read a few days ago that the Omega 3, can cause cardiovascular disease, then nothing is safe!
We have to see how the Japanese people are smart, it is quite possible that their dietary regimen plays an important role!

You are most welcome sister!
