Age-related macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration, is a fundus lesion caused by aging changes in the structure of the macula. The prevalence increases with age and is one of the main causes of blindness in the elderly. This type of eye disease is more likely to occur after the age of 50, and there is currently no cure for this disease.
Researchers at the Westmead Medical Institute in Sydney, Australia, and researchers at the University of Sydney recently published a paper in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, saying that they tracked more than 2,000 Australians over the age of 50 and said they ate at least one a day. People with oranges can reduce their risk of age-related macular degeneration by more than 60% after 15 years, even if you eat an orange a week can help reduce the risk.
Principal researcher and professor at the University of Sydney, Bamini Gippnat, said the data showed that flavonoids in oranges seem to help prevent eye problems.
To date, most studies have focused on the effects of common nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin A on the eyes. Gopinate said their research focuses on the relationship between flavonoids and macular degeneration. Flavonoids have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and are found in almost all fruits and vegetables. But data show that among the common foods containing flavonoids, only oranges are associated with a reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration. It is not clear why.
The researchers also stressed that eating oranges is associated with a reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration, and does not mean that eating oranges can completely prevent such eye diseases.
