| Summary: |
Nutrition is one of the
important factors of human health. The impact of
nutrition on manifestation and progression of
age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has recently
become a relevant topic. A number of studies described
that regular consumption of vegetables, fruits and fish
play an important role in AMD prevention, because they
are the source of lutein, zeaxantin, omega 3
polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. All
patients with higher risk of AMD and with AMD should be
informed about the benefits of well balanced diet. |
