[What is Citrus Aurantium]

Citrus aurantium L, belonging to the family Rutaceae, is widely distributed in China. Zhishi, the Chinese traditional name for Citrus aurantium, has long been a folk medicine in traditional Chinese medicine (TCMto improve indigestion and help stimulate the Qi (energy force).

1. Have the function of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, vasoprotective and anticarcinogenic and cholesterol lowering actions.

2. Have the function of inhibiting following enzymes: Phospholipase A2, lipoxygenase, HMG-CoA reductase and cyclo-oxygenase.

3. Have the function of improving the health of capillaries by reducing the capillary permeability.

4. Have the function of reducing hay fever and other allergic conditions by inhibiting the release of histamine from mast cells. The possible activity of hesperidin could be explained by the inhibition of polyamine synthesis. (bitter orange extract)

DESCRIPTION: This is Dr. Greger’s 2013 live presentation. Dr. Greger has scoured the world’s scholarly literature on clinical nutrition and developed this brand-new live presentation on the latest in cutting-edge research on how a healthy diet can affect some of our most common medical conditions.

In my annual nutrition review last year, Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/), I explored the role diet may play in preventing, arresting, and even reversing our top 15 killers. Actually, if you recall, the top 16. Since side effects from prescription drugs kill an estimated 100,000 Americans a year, the sixth leading cause of death may actually be doctors.

And that’s just from adverse drug reactions. Add in medical mistakes (which the Institute of Medicine estimates kills at least 44,000 Americans) and that brings “health”care up to our country’s third leading cause of death. Throw in hospital-acquired infections, and we’re talking maybe 187,000 Americans dead every year (and millions injured) by medical care.

The best way to avoid the adverse effects of medical and surgical tests and treatments is not to avoid doctors, but to avoid getting sick in the first place. This year I thought I’d run through the top dozen reasons people visit their doctors to highlight some of the latest research in hopes of moving my colleagues and me lower down the list of common killers.

So you can more easily navigate through the menu of diseases I cover, this presentation is also available on DVD through my website (https://www.drgreger.org/DVDs) or Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/node/index.html/?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&me=A1QZTUS5K8MU75&tag=httpwwwdrgreg-20). If you want to share copies with others I have a five for $40 (https://www.drgreger.org/DVDs) special. All proceeds from the sales of all my books, DVDs, and presentations all go to charity.

The incredible growth in technology has improved human life and connected our world in truly amazing ways, but at what cost to our vision?

Sit in front of a computer screen, get lost in cat memes on your phone, switch on a light, or just step outside midday, and you can’t escape it: High-energy blue light radiating from the sun and glowing electronic screens is bombarding your eyes and taxing your vision. And while mother nature anticipated some blue-wavelength light… today, you’re exposed to much more than even a single generation ago.

In other words, the intense levels of stressful blue light staring you down every day are far greater than anything evolution equipped your eyes to handle on their own…

Making it more important than ever before to protect your vision.

And because damage from chronic eye strain can build up long before you notice — the sooner you do something about it, the better.

The good news is, you don’t have to wear weird-looking glasses all day or adopt a vampire’s schedule to give your eyes the relief they need.

Until now vision support has trailed technology’s growth — Bulletproof™ Eye Armor™ narrows the gap. Eye Armor fortifies your vision, from the inside out, with a unique combination of super-powered carotenoids and antioxidants, including lutein, zeaxanthin, meso-zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, beta-carotene, and bilberry fruit — providing your eyes:
- Increased macular pigment optical density (MPOD) for heightened visual performance and acuity
- Reduced sensitivity to glare (no more squinting)
- Enhanced night vision
- Faster recovery from eye strain
- Greater contrast sensitivity (seeing details at low contrast levels)
- Protection from blue light

What Happens When You Don’t Give Your Eyes the Nutrients They Need…

When your eyes can’t get enough of these macular carotenoids, they fall back on an inferior form of vitamin A, called retinal, to help protect against high-energy blue light: During the day, a compound in retinal called A2E stores all the energy absorbed by your eyes like little springs. Then, at night, all that energy gets released — killing cells and causing oxidative damage. This process may compound each day, negatively stressing your visual function more and more as time goes on.

Why Eye Armor?

Lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin let you absorb high-energy blue light without releasing damaging A2E.

While you can get some crucial eye health carotenoids like lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin from food, clinical studies show it’s tough to get optimal levels and that even if you load your plate with veggies, it’s still important to supplement with them.

After all, nutrient levels in many whole foods are on the decline… and at the same time, you’re dealing with far more intense and prolonged high-energy blue light exposure, day and night, than ever before in history. It’s no wonder your eyes need an extra boost.
