e. both vitamin c and carotenoids

Explanation:

Age-related macular degeneration is an eye related disease which causes our macula to degenerate. It leads to blurred vision which further impacts our abilities like sewing, reading and driving adversely. It can be cured by intake of vitamin C and carotenoids in appropriate amount. Cataract is another disease related to eyes which most commonly occurs in old age people. In this disease, the eye lenses appear cloudy because of the changes in the eye lens tissue. Beta carotene and vitamin C both are very helpful in restricting cataract.

Intakes of both vitamin c and carotenoids have been associated with reduced risk for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.

Macular degeneration and cataract are age-related eye diseases. It is commonly causes impaired vision and blindness in older adults. This disease can be prevented or delayed by changing lifestyle such as a good diet. Foods that we eat and supplement that we take affect our overall health and also eyes health.

Carotenoid is a plant pigment that produces bright yellow, red, and orange colors in plants, vegetables, and fruits. Carotenoid is a beneficial antioxidant that can protect you from disease and enhance your immune system. Carotenoid such as Lutein and zeaxanthin have been shown to protect the retina from oxidative changes caused by ultraviolet light. It works by absorbing the blue light. Fruits and vegetables also provide essential vitamin C, another powerful antioxidant, lowering inflammation in the body.

Besides adopting a healthy diet, there are many ways to protect and maintain your eye health including avoiding prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays and high-energy blue light, quitting smoking and getting annual eye exams.

from almost the creation of the first true maps of the earth, people started seeing how continents would be able to fit together.   in particular, people noticed that south america fits almost exactly into africa.

you should be aware that while world maps were around early in the 1600’s and better defined by the end of the 1700’s, those maps were not ‘public’ but were treated as state secrets.   and so it was not till much later that the broader ‘science’ community had access to good quality and accurate world maps.

get the whole story here…

it is now known that most of the major continental masses can be fit together in a jigsaw process.   in fact we now know that the continents were indeed once all joined together as one land mass – the supercontinent of pangaea.

if you look at most world maps you will ponder how this is evidence, as the continents really don’t appear to ‘fit’ together very well.   what you need to understand is that the vast majority of maps are drawn using a map projection that has the north and south poles (which are points) are a line the width of the map at the top and bottom.   this means that the map distorts the true shape of the earth’s land and oceans as you love closer to the poles.     some other map projections distort less, but have the map shape looking like segments of an orange.   see here for a range of map projections.   check out the way greenland changes size in each!

what is more remarkable, is the next piece of evidence when added to the shape of continents.

location of mountains and fossils

what is remarkable, when you reassemble all the continents together, the ancient mountain ranges (many now eroded to their cores) and the location of rock types and fossils all match up.
