Preserving your vision
Posted by kathryn in Antioxidants, A Balanced Diet and Vegetables
Yet another reason to have a healthy diet and lifestyle – it can protect you from macular degeneration – one of the leading causes of blindness in Australia.
The prescription is plenty of Omega 3s, lots of fruit and vegetables (for the antioxidants), don’t smoke and regular exercise. See the full article here on the ABC’s website.

We use butter instead of margarine for the same reason. Guess when I’m having a heart attack I’ll still be able to see the way to the hospital.
While margarines are getting better, especially when it comes to their trans fat content, I’d still much prefer to go for butter – flavour wins that argument every time. I tend to just watch how much I use, spread ricotta or avocado over my bread instead, try not go OTT with it, etc.
