Glaucoma risk can be checked by Green vegetable intake
Health is wealth.The saying sounds nice but how many people follow the principle or at least bothered about their busy daily life.
Health experts and scientists, who, very often keep watching and finding the secrets of health, have come to an understanding after the deep observation, that intake of dietary nitrate and green leafy vegetables can lower risk of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) .
Jae H. Kang of Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, and colleagues evaluated the association between dietary nitrate intake, derived mainly from green leafy vegetables and POAG.
They have carried out extensive reserach work and made a followup study involving 63,893 women and 41,094 men over a period of more than 35 years.
1,483 incident cases of POAG were identified, during the follow-up,.
The researchers found that greater intake of dietary nitrate and green leafy vegetables was associated with a 20 percent to 30 percent lower POAG risk.
It has been reported that POAG is caused by optic nerve damage that is chronic and progresses over time.
It is to be mentioned here that the findings were published in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology.
