Brief Answer:
Try these home remedies and get the following blood test done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
As per your height and weight, your BMI(body mass index) is 18.9. It is in the normal range(18.5 to 24.9) but on the lower side .
You can try the following home remedies:
- You need to eat more calories than your body burns in order to gain weight.
- High-protein foods including meats, fish, eggs, many dairy products, legumes, nuts and others. Protein supplements like whey protein can also be useful if you struggle to get enough protein in your diet.
- Eat 3 meals per day with plenty of fat, carbs and protein. Snack in between meals.
- You can go to the gym to lift some heavy weights and improve your strength. This will help you gain muscle mass instead of just fat.
- Drink milk.
- Weight gainer shakes are very high in protein, carbs and calories.
- Don't smoke, smokers tend to weigh less than non-smokers.
I would suggest you to test a few parameters such as hemoglobin, serum iron, vitamin B12 and Thyroid.
I hope this answered your query.
With regards,
