The "half" indicator for the elderly is also related to anxiety and depression. The doctor reminds

Wuhan Evening News August 1st (Reporter Mao Yin) Most of people who are older are very concerned about their same types of cysteine, because it is related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. But what you don't know is that it is also the "barometer" of anxiety and depression. Associate Professor Cai Honglin, a clinical nutrition department of the University of Science and Technology of China, said that it was adjusted or improving cysteine ​​anti -anxiety through nutritional adjustment or improvement.

According to data released by the National Health and Health Commission in 2020, the prevalence of depression in my country reached 2.1%, and the prevalence of anxiety disorders was 4.98%. Depression is high in adolescence and postpartum and menopause.

Cai Honglin explained that the same type of cysteine, referred to as blood for short, is a sulfur -containing amino acid, which is the product of methyl molevinate. A variety of factors can cause the accumulation of total blood cysteine ​​levels, forming high -lygaminemia, which is referred to as hypertrophic. High blood can damage cells, tissues, and organs. It is an independent risk factors or important risk factors that occur in many chronic diseases. Like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, it is one of the important indicators to determine health risks. Hyperthypeninemine is currently considered one of the causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

A survey of students 6-13, a 6-13 -year -old student in Taiwan, found that depression and anxiety are related to the elevation of the level of same type of cysteine. Compared with students at low anxiety, students It is significantly correlated with the elevated level of serum cysteine. Several studies from Western countries have also showed that the level of same cysteine ​​in adults and elderly depression has increased.

Cai Honglin said that the metabolism of same type of cysteine ​​is related to vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, choline, and beetine. If the above nutrients or metabolic disorders are lacking in the body, hypertrophy will be the same. "Although there is no direct evidence that reducing the level of same type of cysteine ​​can directly improve the state of anxiety and depression, appropriately consumes the incidence of vitamins such as appropriate intake of folic acid and vitamin B12 and low depression, anxiety and stress symptoms. "Menopausal depression and anxiety are mainly due to calcium deficiency and intestinal micro -ecological imbalance. Nutritional therapy is mainly to strengthen the supplement and intake of B vitamins. In fact, B vitamins are originally nutritious and nervous.

How to correct the same blood? Cai Honglin suggested that first of all, to maintain a healthy lifestyle: quitting smoking, restricting wine, reasonable diet, and increasing the amount of exercise, it will help reduce the same level of blood. Secondly, under the guidance of nutritional professionals, the nutrients such as vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, choline, and beetine. Compared with foothic acid alone, composite nutritional supplements can reduce the same level of blood by 20%-30%. In addition, the polymorphism of genes can be used to formulate personalized and precise supplement solutions in combination with the level of related nutrients.

"In view of the relationship between the occurrence of co -cysteine ​​and anxiety and depression, if you are in a state of anxiety depression such as emotional depression, poor feelings, losing interest in work or studying, sleep disorders, restlessness, and restlessness The level of cysteine ​​and folic acid, B12 and other nutrients. "Cai Honglin reminded.
