There is
nothing much worse than being too skinny. It is more dangerous than obesity.
What does underweight
mean?
Underweight is a term describing a person whose body weight is
considered too low to be healthy.
The definition usually refers
to people with a body mass index (BMI) of under18.5 or a weight 15% to 20%
below that normal for their age and height group. Some people are naturally
very skinny but still healthy. Being underweight according to this scale does
not necessarily mean that you have a health problem.
According to one study, being underweight was associated with a 140%
greater risk of early death in men, and 100% in women.
Being underweight can also impair immune function, raise your risk of
infections, lead to osteoporosis and fractures, and cause fertility problems.
People who are underweight are also much more likely to get sarcopenia
(age-related muscle wasting), and may be at greater risk of dementia.
Here are some energy-dense foods that are perfect for gaining weight:
Nuts: Almonds, walnuts,
macadamia nuts, peanuts, etc.
Dried fruit: Raisins,
dates, prunes and others.
High-fat dairy: Whole milk,
full-fat yogurt, cheese, cream.
Fats and Oils: Extra virgin
olive oil and avocado oil.
Grains: Whole grains like
oats and brown rice.
Meat: Chicken, beef, pork,
lamb, etc. Choose fattier cuts.
Tubers: Potatoes, sweet
potatoes and yams.
Dark chocolate, avocados, peanut butter, coconut milk, granola, trail
mixes.
It may be a good idea not to eat a ton of vegetables if gaining weight
is a priority for you. It simply leaves less room for energy-dense foods.
Eating whole fruit is fine, but try to emphasize fruit that doesn’t
require too much chewing, such as bananas.
Eat more often and don’t drink
water before your meal. Try weight gainer shakes and drink milk .
The muscle building supplement creatine monohydrate can help you gain
a few pounds in muscle weight.
