night vision

[Dragsinger]

Racers,

my night vision continues to slip. Do we have any "tools" to help/enhance night vision?

Shooters amber color lens? other ideas?

Thanks

A good start would be to eat more carrots, and also supplementing with beta carotene. Beta carotene is converted into vitamin A in the liver, then performs many tasks in the body-one of which is retina health (skin too).. If supplementing use beta carotene as opposed to supplementing vitamin A. Too much A can be toxic, however the body won't convet too much BC into vitamin A.

Hope this helps

PS, don't cook the carrots, I would expect in raw form more nutrients are more bioavailable.

Hey Larry,it's what's called getting old.And as far as carrots go,I ate so many carrots, cooked and uncooked when I was a kid that I should have had X-ray vision.I needed glasses since I was 8 years old and I've worn them since.I'll be 66 in April.Working on the car isn't as easy as it used to be either.But I thank God I'm still mobile.And I still have my
lovable personality.

We're just practicing for the wheelchair racing we'll be doing in the nursing home.The nursing staff (female) had better beware.

At least we know that carrots is not a cure for that.
