Hi XXXXXXX XXXX,
Thanks for query under health care magic.I have read it7 understand your concern.
Under weighing results from excessive caloric consumption ( through activities / health problems ) than required caloric intake.
- First step towards gaining weight should be - To get a through medical check up & exclude/ confirm & get specifically treated any health condition ( Endocrine disorders like hyper thyroidism, diabetes/ debilitating chronic health problems like tuberculosis/ HIV/ Digestive disorders ) as a cause.
- Diet management. - Take an expert dietitian's advise to plan your food . Avoiding fast food is good for it would increase weight by causing fat deposition. Better option is to have a balanced diet with whole grains/ good proteins/ sufficient vitamins & minerals.
- Doing moderate exercises along with other majors help by increasing muscle weight & offering strength along with weight gain.it helps appetite & digestion too.
- A composed & positive approach to the efforts & sound sleep also contributes to weight gain.
This way an overall scrutiny of the problem with help of a physician/ dietitian & physical instructor would find a way out of the under weight condition for you.
