Orkujafnvægi, það er að segja hlutfall prótína, fitu og kolvetna, hefur áhrif á andlega og líkamlega heilsu.

Ef þyngdartap er læknisfræðilega nauðsynlegt þarf að gæta að því að þyngdartap sé ekki á kostnað vöðvamassa. Í því sambandi er mikilvægt að tryggja að nægt prótín sé í fæðunni ásamt því að bæta inn styrktaræfingum og annarri hreyfingu til að varðveita líkamlega virkni og færni.

Hverjar eru helstu ráðleggingar sérfræðinga varðandi þyngdarstjórnun þegar aldur færist yfir? Hvort er hitaeiningafjöldi eða hlutfall orkuefna mikilvægari þáttur í heildarsamhenginu? Er smjör æskilegt viðbit? Mjólk eða rjóma í kaffið? Er óhætt að borða meira (fleiri hitaeiningar) ef dregið er út kolvetnum? Það safnast þegar saman kemur í inntökunni, eigið þið einföld ráð til að hafa í huga í hinu daglega amstri?
