Could Obesity be Impacting Your Vision?
Top Replies
Yes, I've seen some studies suggesting a link between obesity and eye problems. Excess weight, particularly around the midsection, can increase the risk of developing conditions like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. It's thought that obesity-related inflammation and changes in blood vessels may contribute to these issues.
What's more, maintaining a healthy weight through lifestyle changes can help manage not only obesity but also its potential effects on eye health. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, along with regular exercise, can make a significant difference in overall health, including eye health.
It's important to remember that managing obesity and related health concerns is a lifelong process. Making small, sustainable changes in diet and physical activity can lead to long-term improvements in weight and overall well-being. And, of course, always consult with healthcare professionals for personalized guidance.
