Bodybuilder Paul Kerton says that going vegan improved his eyesight dramatically within six months
Bodybuilder Paul Kerton has claimed that switching to a vegan diet for the last six months has improved his eyesight considerably. The 45-year-old former bouncer told Daily Mail that his new plant-based diet has affected his eyesight positively, so much so that the strength of his glasses and contact lenses prescription have significantly reduced.
Kerton has shortsightedness. "I used to be blind as a bat, but in the first six months of turning vegan, my vision improved vastly," he said.
"My ophthalmologist nearly fell off his chair when I had an eye test and my vision and I saw how much my eyesight had improved. I still wear contact lenses but they're half the strength they used to be. I wholeheartedly believe it's because of veganism. And I'm on a mission to show the world the amazing power of vegan whole foods, in terms of sports performance and the prevention, treatment and even reversal of chronic diseases."
