Eat Right to Prevent Eye Diseases- Dry Eyes, AMD, Diabetic Retinopathy

There are many publications about diet and AMD - (Age related Macular Degeneration) .

However, there is a general lack of knowledge on nutrition and diet to prevent eye diseases,in particular dry eyes, AMD and diabetic retinopathy.  

Here is a general outline for diet on weekly basis.  

·         Eat your leafy greens… a handful a day keeps AMD away!

·         Eat cold water fish four times a week. Choose sustainable fish that is low in contaminants, like wild Alaskan salmon, mackerel (not king mackerel), rainbow trout or sardines.

·         Eat orange peppers (they are high in zeaxanthin), two peppers per week, cooked or raw.

·         Eat eggs, including the yolk. Eggs contain lutein which is highly absorbed by the body. Having four per week is ideal.

·         Avoid high glycemic index and high glycemic load foods like refined grains and sugars. These foods are linked to diabetes and AMD.

New research Linking Sjogren's Disease to Hepatitis Delta Virus

Sjogrens Disease and Delta Hepatitis Virus

It has been long suspected that many autoimmune diseases are associated with a bout of viral infections.

New research from National Institute of Health indicate the virus Hepatitis delta Virus maybe associated with Primary Sjogren's Disease.   Of the 2 categories, Primary Sjogren's have more severe symptoms, and they do not have another rheumatic disease associated with it.

The salivary glands of Sjogren's patients were examined for viral vectors, changes in salivary flow, development of auto-antibodies compare to normal salivary glands.  This virus also demonstrated its ability to reduce saliva flow, increased lymphocyte infiltrates and development of auto-antibodies in mice.

Conclusion

Identification of HDV in Sjögren’s syndrome patients and induction of a Sjögren’s syndrome-like disease in vivo further support a viral-mediated etiopathology in Sjögren’s syndrome

This study was presented at

2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting, September 29, 2015  atKeywords: Hepatitis, infection and viruses, SICCA, Sjogren's syndrome
