How To Gain Weight And Become Super Healthy And Attractive
“Some people can eat anything they want and stay slim. I put on weight just by reading the recipe.”Anonymous.
The incessant campaigns on weight loss have for long put in the shade the unqualified importance of weight gain. The mere mention of putting on some pounds is frowned upon, dreaded, and associated with all manner of ill health.
Is weight gain all doom and gloom? No one tells you that some studies show that being underweight is associated with a 140% greater risk of early death in men and 100% in women. Obesity is only linked with a 50% greater risk of early death.
This means that being underweight is more injurious to health than being overweight. However, no one is beating the drums for unhealthy weight gain. This puts a smile on the faces of those of us who desire and admire curvy or even muscular bodies.
How then do you gain weight healthfully?
1. Drink milk(plant and animal milk)
Milk can help you gain weight or even build muscles. It is a great source of proteins, fats, carbs, calcium, and a host of vitamins that are all well balanced. It is advisable to take whole milk as opposed to skim.
Plant milk like peanut and coconut milk is delicious and contains lots of healthy fats for your body.
Take one to two glasses with a meal. If you do workouts take a glass or two before and after.
Milk is also highly potent with antioxidants like retinol that are good for your skin complexion. The vitamin D in milk is an anti-aging vitamin.
2. Go for dense vegetables.
High nutrient vegetables are great for healthy weight gain. Beans, for instance, are rich in proteins(for bodybuilding) and soluble fiber. The soluble fiber reduces cholesterol(good news for your heart). Dark beans apart from being rich in proteins also have huge amounts of disease combating antioxidants.
Avocados have massive contents of healthy fats and other nutrients to boost your weight. They have well over 20 vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. You can add avocados to a host of meals. Their fatty acids are superb skin moisturizers enhancing your skin health and look.
Starchy vegetables like peas, lentils, corn, and potatoes are also healthy weight boosters.
3. Take more meals.
Consider sneaking in more meals in a day other than the routine 3. You may squeeze in 4 to 5 lighter meals, be it snacks. Taking a meal before bed is advisable as it goes a long way in aiding weight gain. Your metabolism slows down while asleep and any undigested calories are stored as fat.
