DESCRIPTION: Blueberries may help protect against age-related macular degeneration, and black currants may help halt the progression of glaucoma.

This is the final installment of my 4-part video series on the latest science on protecting our vision. In [Greens vs. Glaucoma], I listed the best foods to help prevent glaucoma and in [Dietary Prevention of Age-Related Macular Degeneration] I did the same for age-related macular degeneration. Then I addressed the Dietary Treatment of Glaucoma, in which I also mentioned black currants (as well as in Enhanced Athletic Recovery Without Undermining Adaptation).

By using a standing or treadmill desk, we can avoid some of the other adverse health effects of sitting at a computer all day. See my video Standing Up for Your Health. I'm now up to 17 miles a day!
