In this video we’re going to discuss how high sugar or high insulin can destroy your eyes.

So Number one is it effects something called the retina, the retina is the back part of the eye it’s all nerve tissue, it’s kind of extension to the brain so it’s where all the information comes in its transmitted into the brain so there’s a condition called diabetic neuropathy where the tiny little blood vessels get damaged and they leak and they basically starve off the retina. This is one of the leading causes of blindness all right then we have the macula the macula is a central part of the retina. It’s a smaller part of it and you can have a condition called diabetic macular edema, why because the leaking blood that happens in the vascular system around this nerve tissue then you have something called macular degeneration.

Now I’ve done before on this where I talk about the carotenoids and lutein’s which are phytonutrients in cruciferous vegetables can greatly help protect the macula. So that way you can actually eat donuts and candy and cookies as long as you’re consuming that cruciferous you’re totally ok and I’m totally just kidding you, you can’t do that you want to get the sugar out of the diet get the junk out of the trunk and then you want to start consuming cruciferous vegetables so you can actually heal the inside of the eye.
So then we have the lens of the eye you can get cataracts that’s where you get this cloudiness because this little piece of protein starts clouding the lens and things become blurry and then you can’t see and then you have to get surgery on that high sugar and we’re high insulin can also affect the fluids to dehydrate the eye cause dryness which is a common symptoms of pre-diabetic and actual diabetics where you have this like it’s just like there’s sand in the inside of the ye of underneath the eyelid or there’s something in the eye like a foreign object or it’s really dry and sticky and its high sugar and then you have glaucoma which is basically pressure inside the eye it’s like a little pressure cooker that’s destroying the nerves because there’s too much pressure in there and that also comes from high sugar as well as if you know of anyone that is starting to see blurred vision or double vision or having eye issues definitely give them this Video.
