Calorie restriction, which is eating less than
you normally do, can improve your vision and other health issues. Calorie
restriction is a conscious effort to eating less, first by eliminating all junk
foods that give you nothing but empty calories, making you fat. Then slowly
focus on nutrients that benefit your health. You can slowly and gradually
change your taste buds.
Studies have repeatedly shown
that calorie restriction, which means eating less, or less frequently,
have long-term benefits in animals with respect to extending their lifespan.
That is, animals are given less food (about 40 to 50 reduction in calorie
consumption). In humans, a 20 percent reduction (e.g. reducing
from 2,000 calories to 1, 500 calories a day is doable) may benefit
diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and nearly all
age-related degenerative diseases, including vision loss.
Likewise, many eye disorders are due to aging;
therefore, calorie restriction may hold the answer to many age-related eye
issues.
You can accomplish calorie restriction by
simply eating less gradually; such as, fasting once a week;
eating twice a day, instead of three times a day; intermittent fasting, which
is eating only after an 8-hour period of food abstinence.
Calorie restriction can effectively repair
your DNA, increase your antioxidant defense system, lower your blood pressure
and inflammation (the underlying cause of physical and joint pain), improve
glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. In addition, calorie restriction is
instrumental in boosting your brain health. Don’t forget that your vision
health is closely related to the neurons in your brain.
