Yet doctors often tell people nothing will stop cataracts. This is often not true. Let's take a look at the causes and treatment of cataracts. Sunlight, especially UV light, is a major cause, especially if your body has a low antioxidant bank account. So ask for UV blockers in your sunglasses but also in your glasses.
Dehydration can hasten the development of cataracts.
Drink six to eight glasses of water per day to combat this. Sodas, iced tea and coffee do not fulfill this requirement. Keep alcohol use to moderate amounts of red or white wine. Heredity and age are also factors, but ones that we cannot do much about, except to focus on other lifestyle changes. Smoking and second-hand smoke are known factors of many ailments.
