It can cause a wide range of health problems, including hair loss, weak bones, and even death (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/malnutrition\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poor_Immune_Function\"><\/span><strong>Poor Immune Function<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re underweight or malnourished, your immune system may not be as strong as it should be.

In fact, it&#8217;s much more important to make healthy choices if you want to gain weight in a healthy way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some tips for eating healthy while trying to gain weight are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maintain_A_Calorie_Surplus\"><\/span><strong>Maintain A Calorie Surplus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to gain weight, you need to be in a calorie surplus, meaning you are eating more calories than your body needs just to get by. You don&#8217;t need to eat unhealthy foods to do this \u2013 in fact, it&#8217;s important to make healthy choices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Plenty_Of_Protein\"><\/span><strong>Eat Plenty Of Protein<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein is an essential nutrient for a number of reasons, one of which is that it is a required building block for you to build muscle (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6566799\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

In fact, some fats are essential for a healthy diet. Omega-3 fatty acids, for example, are important for cognitive function and heart health (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6116096\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to gain weight in a healthy way, make sure you&#8217;re including healthy fats in your diet. These fats can be found in foods like avocados, nuts, and olive oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drink_Plenty_Of_Fluids\"><\/span><strong>Drink Plenty Of Fluids<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water is essential for human health, but it&#8217;s also important to drink plenty of fluids when you&#8217;re trying to gain weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluids help you feel full, and they also help maintain your fluid-electrolyte balance. Choose calorie-rich fluids like whole milk or fruit juice, and make sure you&#8217;re drinking enough each day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lift_Heavy_Weights_While_In_A_Calorie_Surplus\"><\/span><strong>Lift Heavy Weights While In A Calorie Surplus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most underrated pieces of advice for people who are underweight and trying to gain weight is to lift heavy weights. This type of training will help you create the right environment for muscle growth (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6950543\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While cardio is a great way to burn calories, it&#8217;s not the best way to put on weight. When you&#8217;re trying to gain weight, you want to consume more calories than you burn. Doing excessive amounts of cardio will make it difficult to reach this calorie surplus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to make healthy gains, you need to focus on both diet and exercise. Eating a balanced and nutritious diet is essential for gaining weight, while strength training will help you put on muscle mass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When done together, these two activities can help you reach your goals in a healthy way. Always talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen, especially if you are being treated for any illnesses or medical conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to gain weight, you need to eat a balanced diet that includes all three macronutrients: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Focus on eating healthy foods that are high in calories and nutrients. These include whole grains, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, dairy products, healthy fats, and protein.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And choose calorie-rich beverages that aren&#8217;t loaded with added sugar or unhealthy fats.
