Prevention of depression may have depressive symptoms in the elderly is much higher than the proportion of young people. It is not only easy to produce with the old loneliness, loss and depression of the emotions, but also closely related with the meal. Winter depression in elderly high season, more attention should be paid.

British scholar, serum cholesterol lower than those depression symptoms significantly increased the relative risk. The more senior, more prominent this situation. 70 years of age or older have low cholesterol, 16% of significant depression, 80 elderly people over the age of low-cholesterol, 14% in danger because of depression.

As we all know, the source of serum cholesterol diet based, that the amount of dietary cholesterol on serum cholesterol level. Nutrition showed that cholesterol was seen only in animal food, and plants containing only plant sterols, such as the Valley sterols, soy sterol, ergosterol, etc.. Therefore, only eat to get cholesterol in animal foods. If the old lack of animal food, will be lowered serum cholesterol.

Cholesterol rich in meat, dairy, eggs and other foods, as long as 70 years or older do not have to limit intake of cholesterol and coronary heart disease and other diseases, can be appropriate intake. As the old loose teeth or loss, combined with digestive dysfunction, on the meat intake of food difficult, and therefore should be based on dairy, egg-based. A glass or two of milk a day, accompanied by 1 to 2 eggs, can achieve the purpose of raising serum cholesterol may also reduce the incidence of depressive symptoms.

Some people think that old people than young people with high serum cholesterol concentration, and thus too much emphasis on the elderly want to eat “prime”, which is absolutely incorrect. Only pay attention to meat and vegetarian dishes with, can the elderly do not, through low serum cholesterol affect the health or produce symptoms of depression, adverse feelings, to make life more pleasant old age.
