See Clearer with these Natural Remedies for Cataracts

Clear up your life with these home remedies for cataracts.

Cataracts make life blurry and unfocused.  It is a disease that progresses by causing double vision or spots.  In the beginning, your vision may be better than it is in full daylight.  In the more advanced stages, objects and people may appear like blobs of light.  Also, there is a grayish-white discoloration in the pupil.

What causes cataracts?

There are three things that contribute to the loss of the transparency part of the lens. 

1. Deterioration in the nutrition of the lens that diminish the vitality and resistance of the lens fibres

2. Deposits of acids and salts between the lens fibres that irritate the lens tissues, as well as exert an increasing pressure on the delicate fibres

3. Disintegration of lens fibres that cloud the entire lens in the absence of appropriate care

Other causes:

• Poisons in the blood stream

• Stress and strain

• Alcoholic drinks

• Faulty style of living

Home remedies for cataracts:

What to eat to help with cataracts:
