Project Report | Feb 19, 2014
Happy Everything Month

By Judith Delgado | Executive Director

This month, the Macular Degeneration Partnership has been traveling in Southern California, spreading the message of healthy living and controlling your risk factors for AMD.  Your gift has helped us make 5 presentations to senior citizens and hold 3 support groups for those with AMD and their families.

February is such a busy month! 

It's National AMD/Low Vision Month.

 American Heart  Month.

And, Valentine's Day.  

Did you know these all go together?

Heart health is a critical factor in the development of age-related macular degeneration.  if you take care of your heart you will take care of your eyes.

Here's where they match:

  • Eat a healthy diet with lots of vegetables, fruit and fish.  
  • Lower saturated fat intake.
  • Get some exercise.  
  • Control cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
  • Don't smoke. 

And if you enjoyed some chocolate on Valentine's Day, don't feel too guilty.  Chocolate contains antioxidants and we could all do with more of that.

Thank you for your support as we educate those at risk with age-related macular degeneration!
