Deep dives
Understanding Floaters and their Formation
Floaters are worm-like structures that float in the eyes and can be irritating. They are caused by the accumulation of damaged collagen fibers that have been glycated, meaning they are attached to sugar molecules. This glycated collagen clogs up the body, resulting in cloudy floaters in the eyes.
Anti-Glycation Remedies and Lifestyle Changes
There are several anti-glycation remedies that can help get rid of floaters. These include taking choline (1g per day), anacetol (500mg per day), and methionine (200mg). Adding L-lysine (1-3g) can also significantly improve floaters. These remedies should be taken on an empty stomach and can be supplemented with intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet, such as the ketogenic diet, which is high in foods rich in antioxidants, like vegetables with high vitamin C and meats and seafood with zinc.
