Vegetarian Diets Reduce Cataract Risk
Saturday, April 30, 2011 10:16Cutting meat and eating more vegetables may help cut the risk of developing cataracts, says a new study.
According to the Mayo Clinic, cataracts develop during aging (or injury) as the eye tissue changes and becomes cloudy, causing blurred or dimmed vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light, double vision, and other symptoms.
When compared to meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans had up to 40% lower risk of developing cataracts.
