It’s Linda back after a few false starts!!
I’ve spent 2 months researching the role of the 3 carotenoids lutein (L), zeaxanthin (Z), and meso-zeaxanthin (M; LMZ) in eye and brain health. Why? Partly because both my husband and I have a family history of BOTH AMD and Alzheimer’s/dementia! We want to avoid both diseases, of course!
It wasn’t long, though, until I found that the research by Dr. John Nolan of the Nutrition Research Centre Ireland done over 20 year – his entire career – has proven through solid scientific methods that LMZ is of benefit to EVERYONE with or without AMD, with or without cognitive issues.
I put together a post with comments for my Facebook group and then decided it should also be here (with Sue’s blessing) so it’s easier to read or to listen to.
Here’s the link to Part 1. You’ll find links at the bottom of each page to get to the next one.
Personal Message December 11th, 2021 Our Genetic Guns: Part 1
In memory of our parents: Harry Chernek had AMD/geographic atrophy while my mother Genevieve Chernek had Alzheimer’s Disease. Elizabeth ‘Ibbie’ Moore had both AMD and dementia.
