5 Home Remedies For Gaining Weight

Are you extremely thin and skinny? Do you feel embarrassed of your puny and scrawny appearance? Though most people are trying and struggling hard to shed off the extra pounds there are many people who are desperately trying to gain a few pounds to improve their overall personality and give themselves a healthy and distinguished look.

Undersized, frail and weak persons are generally overlooked and considered as insignificant while a good and well built body commands attention and respect. If you are able to perform your daily tasks easily and are able to exercise, weighing a little less than the ideal body weight is never a problem. But a skinny and reed like thin body does not make one appear strong, forceful, brisk and hearty. Such people have a hard time in overcoming their skinny genes and in maintaining a healthy body weight.

5 Weight Gaining Home Remedies

Almonds And Ghee

Almonds and ghee will not only give the extra calories but will also nourish the body and the mind tremendously. Soak a handful of almonds overnight. In the morning blanche them and grind them to a fine paste. Take a pan and heat one heaped tablespoon of ghee in it.

Add the almond paste and keep stirring it on a low flame till it becomes golden brown. Add half a cup of milk and some sugar and stir till all the milk has evaporated. Eat this mixture every morning on a regular basis. Almonds and ghee will also increase your mental faculties and will give you well defined muscles.

Whole Milk And Nuts

Milk is the healthiest of all foods in this world. It contains all the constituents that are required by the body and is full of healthy proteins. If you need to increase your body weight then you need to enhance your intake of healthy proteins.

Take some cashew nuts and pistachios and grind them in a mixer grinder and store the meal in a jar. Every morning and evening take a glass of warm whole milk and add a heaped tablespoon of the nut meal. Stir in some sugar and drink this nourishing milk daily.

Eat Often To Gain Weight

Everyone eats three square meals daily. People who need to gain weight should eat healthy snacks full of proteins and other nutrients in between meals.

You can drink a fresh fruit milkshake with a wholegrain bread sandwich of peanut butter and tomatoes. Or you can snack on a handful of walnuts or cashew nuts or any other nut of your choice.

Peanuts

Peanuts contain a lot of valuable nutrients such as vitamin E, niacin and folate and are packed with healthy proteins. You can eat a handful of roasted and salted peanuts as a snack in between meals.

Soybeans

Avoid unhealthy fats like margarine, shortening, processed and meats and packaged snacks. These will only interfere with digestion and proper liver function. Eat plenty of tofu which is a soy product and which will provide not only healthy proteins but also other vital nutrients which are essential for the body.
