Deep dives

Cataracts are a common eye problem caused by glycation and oxidative stress

Cataracts are a prevalent condition, especially among the elderly population. It occurs when the lens of the eye becomes opaque, obstructing vision. The main reason for developing cataracts is glycation, which is the combining of sugar with proteins or fats, rendering them unusable. Diabetics are at a higher risk due to elevated blood sugar levels. Additionally, oxidative stress, which results from an imbalance between oxidation and antioxidants, contributes to cataract formation. To prevent cataracts, it is recommended to follow a low-sugar, low-carb diet, engage in intermittent fasting to reduce glycation, and consume foods high in antioxidants like sulfur-rich vegetables and glutathione-enhancing nutrients such as selenium, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and NAC.
