Recognize the Signs of Depression

It’s important that family members identify the signs of depression in their elder relatives. Often senior citizens do not realize they are depressed, or do not seek treatment for emotional problems. If the following symptoms continue for more than two weeks, you need to seek medical help from a geriatric specialist, who is trained to treat elders:

  • Insomnia
  • Excessive worry
  • Inability to complete normal routine
  • Irritability, short-temperedness
  • Hypochondria

Reason Why Do We Always Feel Tired as We Get Older

A tired person sleep.

Always feel tired?

If you always feel tired, it may rooted from the heart and Q10 coenzyme (CoQ10) that needed by it. Heart has the size of about a gripped fist and it constitutes of special muscle tissues.

Heart muscle tissue is an amazing thing and only found at only one place which is in the heart. Not like other two types of muscle, voluntary muscles and involuntary muscles, heart muscles do not know to rest and are never tired pumping blood to the whole body through the 60,000 miles of blood vessels.

Heart Energy, Heart Muscle Tissues and Q10 Coenzyme (CoQ10) Level

Heart energy

In each of the trillions of cell, there are a energy generator plants known as mitochondria. Complex biochemistry reactions occur within mitochondria to change foods into chemical energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP).

ATP is a type of molecule which contains stored energy like a battery, needed by our cells to function smoothly. Q10 Coenzyme (CoQ10) is an important component in ATP production process and without CoQ10 no energy can be produced.

The Source of CoQ10 (Q10 Coenzyme)

Meat and other foods are sources of CoQ10 or Q10 Coenzyme.

Although CoQ10 may be obtained naturally in many types of food like beef and vegetables, the amount of CoQ10 in the foods is very small. It is very hard to get more than five milligram (mg) of CoQ10 a day from our foods.

As such, CoQ10 supplement intake is recommended to supply optimum energy required by our body, especially by our heart. Traditional forms of CoQ10 supplements are such as CoQ10 powder suspended in soy oil sealed in soft gel, pills based on powder or hard gelatin capsule filled with powder.
