Can Melatonin Protect Your Eyes as You Get Older?
Melatonin is widely known as a sleep aid, but new research suggests it may also play a surprising role in protecting your vision as you age. Scientists studying adults over 50 found that people who regularly took melatonin appeared less likely to develop age related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss, and those who already had it saw slower progression. Researchers believe the hormone’s powerful antioxidant and anti inflammatory effects may help protect delicate cells in the eye. The findings are promising, but experts say there is still an important question that has not been answered yet.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Your brain uses about 20 percent of your body’s energy even when you are resting. This is why mental tasks can sometimes feel physically tiring. Taking short breaks, staying hydrated, and getting good sleep all help your brain maintain focus and function efficiently.
