You've always heard it said that you are in charge of your own health. Your mom says that. So does your aunt. Of course, they chain-smoke and complain about their stiff knees. During your weekly lunch, you bring up hyaluronic acid as well as glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health. Impossible, your mom says. We're just getting old. It's true that women over fifty like your mom and aunt have half the hyaluronic acid they did in youth. Hyaluronic acid lubricates the joints. Unfortunately, large doses of it are difficult to inject or swallow. We told you so, your mom says. You advise that the three of you take a walk in the park next week.

If you are on a liquid diet for medical reasons, you can still gain weight if you need to. Don't fill yourself up with no- or low-calorie beverages, like diet sodas. Fruit juices are good.

Many weight-gain products are mostly protein, but you have to make sure you get balanced nutrition with enough carbohydrates and protein, plus some good fats. An inexpensive protein source is nonfat dry milk powder, and you can get soy protein powder or drink soy milk. Frequent, small liquid meals will be better than large, filling ones. When you are choosing a product, take the one with the most calories, as long as the extra calories don't come mostly from fat. Do some weight training if you can so you will gain more muscle and less body fat.
