Antioxidants

Healthy Eyes. Healthy Body.

Isn't a Healthy Diet Enough?

The old saying, "you are what you eat" is true. A healthy diet delivers plenty of health benefits and is an important part of keeping your eyes healthy. Specific antioxidants have been shown to help reduce the risk of developing AMD. However, for many of us, eating enough of the right foods, especially the fruits and vegetables that provide these antioxidants, can be difficult. In fact, while the Canada Food Guide recommends that all adults over age 50 eat seven servings of vegetables and fruit per day, the amount that Canadians in that age group actually consume is well below that. This means that the diets of many Canadians do not provide the high levels of antioxidants necessary to reduce the risk of developing AMD. As a result, the use of supplements such as Vitalux* Healthy Eyes™ can be a convenient way to ensure adequate daily antioxidant intake.
