Indian Mulberry Has Anti-Cataract Properties
Indian mulberry, or noni, possesses significant anti-cataract potential to maintain lens opacity in the eyes. Other ways to protect against cataracts.
Have
you ever looked through the grease-smeared window of the mechanic's
shop? Do you feel like that's what your eyesight is like all the time?
If so, then you may have a cataract. So many older individuals suffer
from this condition that it has become the leading vision problem in
America. Luckily, you could protect yourself from cataracts with
alternative therapies. Just recently, a clinical trial has reported this
health news: Indian mulberry, or noni,, could be alternative cure for preventing cataracts.
In the clinical trial, researchers studied the anti-cataract
activity of selected plants. Among the tested plants, a water extract
of Indian mulberry exhibited maximum "aldose reductase" inhibitory
activity as compared to other plant extracts. Aldose reductase
inhibitors are a class of drugs being studied as a way to prevent eye
and nerve damage in people with diabetes. The researchers also found
that Indian mulberry possesses significant anti-cataract potential to
maintain lens opacity.
Who is likely to get cataracts? There are a few diseases that can
encourage their development. Diabetes is one of the primary conditions
linked to this eye problem. However, eye injuries or inflammation can
also encourage the protein deposits that lead to cataracts, as can some
drugs, such as prednisone (a corticosteroid used in inflammatory
conditions like arthritis). If you suspect a drug you're taking may be
the cause behind your cataracts, talk to your doctor before stopping any
medication.
Another big cause of cataracts is exposure to ultraviolet light and
radiation. This is one reason why cataracts may develop as you age. The
more years you spend exposed to the rays from the sun, the more likely
you are to suffer damage to the lens of the eye. In fact, scientists
recently linked the increase in cases of cataracts to the depletion of
our ozone layer. So get a good pair sunglasses and wear them as much as
you can when outside!
