My doctor recommended more calories to help me keep a healthy body weight as I’m getting older. What’s the best approach to maintaining my weight in a healthy manner?
• The body mainly contains water, protein and fat. Both fat and protein generally are lost with involuntary weight loss. Losing some fat is usually not harmful and may be beneficial. In contrast, losing body protein is likely to have adverse effects in elderly, not only in terms of muscle mass and strength, but cardiovascular, bone health and immune function. Adequate dietary protein is necessary to maintain body protein. Therefore, the primary nutritional goal should always be to eat enough high-quality protein. Additional calories can be added if necessary to maintain weight, but calories in the form of carbohydrate or fat provide much less nutritional value than protein. I have taken BeneVia® now for several days and feel nausea and also have vomited once. I think it is coming from the BeneVia® that I take. Please advice. • BeneVia® will not cause nausea of vomiting other than a normal fruit-type beverage will do. It is advised to consult a doctor about your health problems.
