“Dr. Sears, I feel like an old lady,” said Sandy D.

I turned 40 just a few years ago and I can’t read the paper without holding it at arm’s length and even then it’s a little fuzzy. I’ve been taking these supplements, but they don’t seem to do anything.

It didn’t take long to look at the bottle. “This won’t help you.


I’ve seen it too many times… I don’t want you to be another of the millions of people who suffer from the leading cause of weak, brittle bones.

You can take a mineral to lower your risk of fractures, stop you from shrinking as you age, and increase your bone density. I have a study on my desk from the New England Journal of Medicine that shows that women who added this mineral lowered their risk of fracture by almost 50 percent in the first year.

My colleague Dr. Nan Fuchs will tell you exactly what this mineral is. She’ll tell you where to find it and exactly how much to take. Click here to find out.




You can sharpen your vision and protect your eyes from aging, but you need the right formula.

Here’s the critical point. While most of these vision formulas contain two key ingredients – lutein and zeaxanthin – nearly all of them don’t contain enough.

You need at least 20 mg of lutein and at least one mg of zeaxanthin to make a difference in your eye health. And most eye supplements just aren’t potent enough to do you any good.

Without these nutrients, you wouldn’t be able to see sharp lines, bright colors, focus on your crossword puzzle or drive safely at night. They nourish the macula at the back of your eyes and are essential to vision clarity.

They can even help you fight the strain your eyes get from staring at a computer screen.
There are plenty of fresh foods that you can find in a local farmer’s market that will give your eyes the nutrients they need every day. Here are a few shopping suggestions:

Pick up some dark, leafy vegetables. Spinach, kale, collards and Swiss chard will do the trick. They’re full of lutein.

Eat whole eggs. The yolk provides another natural source of lutein.

Add some color to your meals. Pick a few orange peppers, zucchini and squash. Toss in a few kiwi fruit. All contain zeaxanthin.

In fact, the more colorful your food choices, the better your eye health may be. Consider adding these natural products to your daily diet:


Benefits of Colorful Fruits and Vegetables

Color

Foods

Benefits to the Eye

Orange and Yellow

Pumpkin, squash, yellow peppers, carrots, mango, peaches, apricots

Lutein & other carotenoids protect eye from sun & age damage.

Red and Pink

Tomatoes, red peppers, guava, watermelon, grapefruit

Range of carotenoids and vitamin C, protect eye from free radicals.

Green

Broccoli, Zucchini, green peppers, spinach, kale, asparagus, other “greens”

Potent antioxidants prevent age-related damage of the eye.

Blue and Purple

Purple cabbage, eggplant, plums, cherries, blueberries, grapes

Anthocyanin, which protects the eye from cancer.



If you need more help take a vision supplement. Just make sure it has at least 20 mg of lutein and 1 mg of zeaxanthin. I would also recommend bilberry extract – 100 mg, and gingko biloba – 50 mg.

In addition to the above, I suggest that you Google: "astaxanthin; supplies". The combination multivitamin, mineral, amino acids, herbs, etc. product at http://dan.xtend-life.com/  contains it, and it is reputed to be one of the very few antioxidants which are able to cross the barrier between the blood supply, and the interior of the eye. I therefore recommend using it for at least 2 weeks prior to, and following eye surgery, if you are unable to afford it on a daily basis. There are 2 versions; regular, and premium, with different types for males, and females
