Hi Harish,

Thank you for your query.

If I understand correctly your age is 23 year and you are weighing 38 Kg. For your age 38 Kg. is a very low weight and you need to get yourself clinically examined to rule out various reasons. The doctor may order some investigations to rule out diseases and other metabolic conditions.

If all the investigations come out to be normal they you need to increase both the quality and quantity of your food. You need to ensure that you take about 45-50 gm. of proteins per day in the form of meat, poultry (if you are non-vegetarian) and pulses, wheat, nuts, etc.

I did not understand what you mean by "your sujestion should help even girls".

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
