Chicago, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/09/2011 -- Mercola.com offers Free Shipping and Handling on your entire order when you buy Eye Support* with Lutein 3-Pack from February 28 to March 2, 2011.
With one out of three people saying that sight is the most important of the five senses, it’s not surprising that eye health ranks fourth among consumer health interests in the U.S.
Fact: eyesight deteriorates with age. This is supported by studies showing that people in their 60s need to take special steps to protect their eyesight. Also included in the risk group are Caucasians, smokers, women, and those suffering from obesity.
Natural health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola believes that lifestyle habits and diet can strongly influence your eye health. Dr. Mercola endorses smoking cessation and maintaining normal blood pressure and blood sugar levels to help prevent damage to the eyes. Consuming foods rich in omega-3 fats -- like wild salmon and eating dark green leafy vegetables -- will also help support your vision.
Dark green leafy vegetables contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which are found in the retina. Lutein, found in the macular pigment, helps protect central vision, while zeaxanthin supports the daily function of the lens and macula.*
Anthocyanins and astaxanthin are two other antioxidants that help support healthy vision.* Found in bilberries and black currant, anthocyanins are soluble in the aqueous humor -- the thick water substance between the lens and cornea -- and help boost visual acuity.*
Astaxanthin is found in salmon and other foods that are rich in omega-3. Aside from supporting visual acuity, it also helps protect the retina, boost eye energy, and maintain normal eye pressure levels.*
Eye Support* with Lutein combines the beneficial effects of lutein, zeaxanthin, anthocyanins, and astaxanthin in one dietary supplement.* Aside from promoting healthy vision, it also helps fight free radicals and optimize your cardiovascular and immune systems.*
Enjoy Free Shipping and Handling to Continental U.S. and Canada on your entire order when you buy Eye Support* with Lutein 3-Pack until March 2, 2011, 11:59 PM CST.
