Almost every individual is dissatisfied with their weight; some want to lose, while others want to gain weight. While being overweight is a major problem, being underweight is no less severe. It poses more serious health threats than obesity. Obese individuals die due to the development of chronic disorders, like diabetes or heart disorders, but those who are underweight have a direct risk of fatality.

Research findings suggest that being underweight holds a higher prospect of mortality, particularly among men. So, what can you do to lessen this risk? Gulp down a packet of chips and cookies? No. This will not lead to a healthy weight gain, it will just make you ‘skinny fat’ (gain of abdominal fat in a thinly framed individual). For you to be healthy, it is important that the weight gain process is healthy.

A recent study divulged that being skinny fat is a major problem in India due to lifestyle changes in the population. Another study found that when unhealthy fat is gained in a previously thin frame, the internal body picture is often like that of an obese person. High levels of visceral fat are evident in such individuals, increasing the risk of diabetes, heart attack and even dementia.

It is recommended to gain a healthy muscle mass, while one is aiming for a gain in weight, rather than adding a layer of visceral fat. This article is meant to help you in achieving a healthy weight gain, by introducing some foods, meals and tips. But, first, let’s see what being underweight really is?
