The More Sugar You Eat, The Worse Your Eyes Get
Believe it or not, a poor diet can speed up vision loss. In The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a studyreported that eating too much sugar increases your chance ofage-related macular degeneration (AMD). This condition occurs naturally with age, but a poor diet will make it arrive earlier.
A high-sugar diet can also raise the risk of other diseases, says Piedmont Eye Center. High blood sugar can swell your eyes, and high blood pressure may lead to glaucoma. Watch out for added sugars that can sneak into processed foods.
