Healthy And Effective Tips To Gain Weight

By Tata Digital Health

Weight loss is such a trending topic these days so much so that we often forget about the ones who struggle with weight gain. Some have been on the slimmer end perpetually, while others may have lost weight due to a recent illness or surgery. Either way, gaining weight doesn’t take too much effort; it just has to be the right kind of effort undertaken consistently. Follow these easy tips to gain weight in a trouble-free way:

Increase your protein intake

Protein is a good way to tip the scales in your favour. It is effective for weight gain, and provides long-lasting energy. Salmon, eggs and lean meats like chicken can help you fulfill your daily requirement of protein in a wholesome manner. Soy products, beans, bananas and smoothies are good non-meat options for the same.

Add calories to each meal

It’s important that you eat more calories than you burn on a daily basis. Increase the good carbs in your diet by adding starchy vegetables, brown rice, oats, potatoes, green leafy vegetables and breads to it. Milk and fresh juice also help in adding on extra calories in between meals.

Increase your physical activity

Having adequate movement calls for a feeling of frequent hunger as food is digested at a faster rate. Physical activity like jogging, running, riding a bike, skipping rope, jumping, or doing body-weight exercises like squats, lunges and pushups will increase your appetite. These will make you use the fuel you feed your body to better itself.

Eat small, but nutritious snacks

Processed foods, like sugary and fried foods, will not do much for healthy weight gain. In fact, they could cause harm, and throw your metabolism off balance.(1) Opt for solutions that are nourishing like whole grain biscuits, and chips and dips.
