so I wanted to touch on the eye and very

important vitamins for the eye and not

just vitamins but a mineral and a

phytonutrient the first thing you need

to understand is that a lot of these

problems with the eye whether it’s

macular degeneration or retinopathy –vs

or cataracts or glaucoma

they usually stem or get triggered from

oxidation high levels of oxidation

usually from too much blood sugar okay

that’s why diabetics you see so many

problems at the eye or high levels of

insulin other things in the diet can

affect the eye but the big thing is the

sugar

okay so I’ve done all the videos on that

and then the high sugar also will

deplete you of certain nutrients as well

but these nutrients I want to mention

act as antioxidants so if you have

enough of these nutrients in your body

it will reduce the complications from

diabetes or high sugar or whatever you

have they basically have protective

properties okay so the most important is

about in my name without by the day

you’re gonna have a lot of eye problems

vitamin A helps you see in the dark and

it can reduce night blindness and

prevent it basically and people that

can’t see when they’re driving at night

without vitamin A your tear ducts and

your mucous membranes around the eye

drive right up so you get dry eye

there’s so many people like carrying

around this little solution to help

lubricate the eye when they need vitamin

A and also make note that you might need

more bile salts if there’s a gallbladder

problem or a liver problem because you

need that to help you absorb vitamin A

without vitamin A you tend to get

cataracts and macular degeneration the

macula is the back part of the eye

alright then we get vitamin b1 which

gets depleted when you’re diabetic when

you eat high carbohydrate diets when you

eat refined foods and also if you’re

taking metformin by the way that will

deplete b1 without b1 your risk of

getting cataracts go way up and also

your risk for getting retinopathy

problems with the retina because b1 is

involved in keeping the outer

holding of your nerves intact that

myelin sheath so if you have any type of

peripheral neuropathy problems because

you’re diabetic you want to take b1 but

you want to take it in a fat soluble

form as in benfotiamine okay then float

Amin is also good to penetrate the fat

layers of the eye and even the brain so

it’s really good for something like this

if you catch it in time all right

b3 is good for a good kamma and all the

B vitamins that I’m going to talk about

you can take nutritional yeast to get

your B violence it’s a good source but

glaucoma is high pressure in the eye

okay then we have zinc zinc is a very

powerful antioxidant it’s a trace

mineral over two billion people on this

planet are deficient in zinc it’s a very

common deficiency also in in agriculture

as well so it’s one of the most common

but zinc allows vitamin A to work okay I

can do its job without zinc vitamin A

has a hard time creating its functions

or another point is that your eye is

loaded with zinc okay because zinc acts

as a cofactor or a helper in all these

different enzymes over a thousand

different enzymes dealing with proteins

without zinc you get an increased risk

of getting a cataract and macular

degeneration other than that you’re

perfectly fine okay then we get

carotenoids which is not a vitamin it’s

a final nutrient it’s an additional

thing in plants and other foods that

give you health benefits like lutein Z

and thin you may have heard about eating

tomatoes for example as high in lutein

or kale or any type of leafy greens

because these carotenoids actually help

prevent macular degeneration and a lot

of other things

okay vitamin D actually can help reduce

the risk for cataracts it’s a fat type

of vitamin this is a fat soluble vitamin

vitamin E is also involved but I didn’t

want to mention that because there’s not

a tremendous amount of research on the

eye with vitamin E maybe a little bit

here and there but vitamin E is a very

powerful antioxidant also so is vitamin

C from food very important but again I

didn’t want to put that because I didn’t

find a lot of research on that

alright vitamin b2 deficiencies can

increase your risk of cataracts and

macular degeneration as well and vitamin

b2 is a antioxidant for the nervous

system - so I did another video on this

related to Parkinson’s very interesting

all right guys there’s a summary make

sure you’re getting these nutrients from

the food that you’re eating

hey guys real quick I have a new healthy

keto eating plan for you just go to dr.
