Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My height is 5'3", and my weight is 114.64 Ibs. My body structure is also small, and my muscles are not firm. I want my muscles to get firm, and I want to gain weight.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I just read your query.
Weight should be proportional to height, and this can be calculated with the help of BMI (body mass index). Normal BMI should be between 19.5 to 24.9. Your BMI is 19.62. So if you want to gain some weight, you can. I suggest you try doing the following:
Improve your dietary habits. Take equal amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
You can also try ayurvedic granules named Nutrigain (Aswangandha, Amlaki, Vatada) for some time. Take one to two teaspoons of these granules with lukewarm milk two times a day for four weeks.
Exercise will help in improving muscle strength. You can learn these exercises from a professional trainer.
Try all these things regularly for one month, and you will feel positive results.
I hope you find my answer helpful.
Thank you.
