MORINGA FOR EYE HEALTH

Eyes are very important for the human body. It helps the person to do his/her tasks with co-ordination. Without eyes, a man won't be able to see the beauty of this wonderful world. Life would be very difficult without eyes. We now encounter a lot of eye defects, some of the common eye defects are cataracts, macular degeneration, and dry eye. What is the part of moringa in improving the eye health?

Macular degeneration is a condition that could be treated by moringa; this condition is mostly found in elderly people and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula) because of damage to the retina. It is a major cause of blindness and visual impairment. High doses of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-carotene and Zinc, decrease the development of macular degeneration by 25% in patients where early signs of the disease had been noticed.

Moringa is a supplement that has all these nutrients in high amounts, and that is why it is so good at improving eye health. There are more than 90 nutrients and 46 antioxidants present in Moringa which gives the healing properties.

We know that moringa is an active anti-oxidant; therefore it can easily fight against cataract, for it is formed due to the oxidative damage to the eyes. Along with this, the activities of antioxidant enzymes are maintained, lipid per oxidation is prevented, and the generation of reactive oxygen species is avoided.

Another defect of the eye is Dry eye; it is a condition in which the eye is unable to produce the lubrication effectively. Adequate wetness of the eye is more important, this cannot be improved by mere blinking. For the eye to function normally pharmaceutical teardrops are usually required. Moringa capsules provide eye lubrication; it is perfect for improving eye health. Lubricating drops help only for few hours.

Apart from treating these conditions moringa and its supplements help to keep the eyes healthy.
