What if you could have Superman-like vision

Ok, well Superman vision may be a bit of a stretch, after all, he isn’t from this planet, so we can’t really compare his super-alien vision to our mediocre human vision; now can we? However, what we can do is improve our own visual acuity. Why settle for standard 20/20 vision, when you can have, 20/15 vision? Plus, you want to ensure that your vision remains healthy as you age. On the flip side, if you suffer from poor vision, improving your ocular health should be a priority. After all, healthy vision is your gateway to all the wonderful sights in this world.

Unfortunately, one of the problems we currently face is that most individuals do not consume a diet rich in nutrients (colorful fruits and vegetables) needed to support healthy eye sight. In order to support healthy vision and prevent any vision deficiencies, supplementing your diet with carotenoids and other eye health-benefiting nutrients is vital. Much research has been done over the years on what nutrients are essential for supporting healthy vision. Antioxidant-rich nutrients such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium and Bilberry Extract are known for the benefits they provide to ocular health. Additionally, antioxidant carotenoids are vital for numerous functions in eye health.

A recent study conducted by researchers in Ireland, looked at what long-term supplementation with carotenoids did to those who already had normal (20/20) vision. Specifically, the study consisted of supplementing participants with 3 carotenoids that make up the macular pigment (the region of greatest visual acuity) in the retina. It followed 105 subjects, male and female, with an average age of about 48 who had normal vision but lower than normal macular pigment. For a year, half took a placebo while the other half took a capsule containing 10mg of lutein, 10mg of meso-zeaxanthin and 2 mg of zeaxanthin. The results showed significant improvement in overall macular pigment and visual performance; where all subjects not only improved visual acuity, but also improved performance against different lighting conditions, and how well subjects are able to distinguish edges of objects. The results would signify improving the quality of life for the average person.1

While this is great news for all those perusing Superman-like vision, what about the other 14 million Americans who are living with a visual acuity of 20/50 or worse?2 Youngevity’s new ProLine™ recently added a powerful eye-supporting product to the line; Ocutiv™.

Absorbing nutritional supplementation

Healthy eating and nutritional supplementation is a great start towards your new years healthy goals. As a famous doctor still says "It's not so much what you eat but more so what we don't eat is what killing us". Then when I heard him say " You are what you absorb", everything started to make sense. So many of us are under the belief that our body breaks down everything that we consume, absorb it then and distribute every nutrient to where its supposed to go.

What if we consume nutrients that counteracts the food breakdown process? Or better yet, what if we don't consume the correct nutrients that helps us to break down what we consume? I think its a pretty logical guess that food that's not fully broken down  properly has 2 options. Foods not broken down properly could either just pass through or just sit and wait inside for who knows how long. Either way the so called nutrients are either trapped inside or wasted away.

Once again our consumed nutrients are only as good as your body’s ability to absorb them. proper absorption ensures that your body has the nutrients it needs to perform at its optimum level to support a healthier you. So if feeling younger, having more energy and living longer is on your New Years healthy goal list then you hopefully you realize that the importance of proper supplementation is key. So many people don't realize the importance of what this doctor has identified as what are the 90 Essential Nutrients.

More important is that most of us can not consume many of the 90 Essential Nutrients in the amounts we need (if at all) unless we supplement them. I have come to love the Youngevity’s Pro-Line core of “90 for Life” products that have been scientifically designed for ideal absorption while still being able to deliver the 90 Essential nutrients too. I really believe that consuming these 90 Essential Nutrients could very well help position the body to avoid, and possibly even reverse many of today’s pressing health concerns.
