Methods to gain weight:
Chinese medicine believes that physical diseases are mostly caused by low spleen and stomach function and insufficient qi and blood.The spleen is the foundation of acquired nature and the source of Qi and blood biochemistry. If the spleen and stomach are strong and qi and blood are strong, the muscles will be plump and the limbs will be strong. On the contrary, the body will become thin and the limbs will become weak and weak. To treat body weight loss, we must first rule out various chronic diseases such as hyperthyroidism, liver disease, kidney disease, and tumors. Then use traditional Chinese medicine to treat it, which will have good results
■Thinness test
Whether a person is fat or thin cannot be measured by sight. You can calculate whether you are a little thin according to the following formula: subtract 100 from your height in centimeters and multiply it by 0.9. The answer you get is your standard weight. For example, if an individual is 180 centimeters tall, the standard weight is (180-100) × 0.9 = 72 kilograms. It is normal to be 10% lower or higher than the standard weight. If your actual weight is more than 10% lower than your standard weight, you should consider whether you are underweight.
■Special reminder
Under normal circumstances, underweight is related to genetic factors. At the same time, some people who are prone to hyperactivity can accelerate calorie consumption due to endocrine effects. Some people are easily nervous, which may result in them missing a meal or losing their appetite. It is not a problem to lose thousands of calories at a time, so they will definitely not gain weight.
If you find that you are underweight or too thin, you should first check whether it is the potential impact of the disease. Diseases such as thyroid, diabetes, adrenal glands, and digestive system can easily lead to underweight. Only after the disease has been ruled out can a weight gain plan be implemented.
■Feeling happy both physically and mentally
In terms of diet, many thin men and women are picky eaters and partial eclipses. Therefore, these bad habits should be changed and dietary intake should be increased. The diet should be rich and varied. Eat more carbohydrates, pasta is the most effective. In addition, high-protein foods, vegetables and fruits are indispensable. It is also necessary to keep healthy snacks on weekdays, such as peanuts, toffee, etc. It is also good to drink some juice after drinking beer. idea.
With sufficient protein intake, it is advisable to eat more foods rich in fat and carbohydrates (i.e. starch, sugar, etc.). In this way, excess energy can be converted into fat and stored under the skin, making the thin person stronger. Thin people with weak gastrointestinal function can choose liver from chicken, duck, fish, and sheep. In addition, fish is also easy to digest and absorb.
■Various diet
If you want to gain weight, you should first gain weight scientifically and gain weight for health. In addition to a balanced diet, you should also maintain adequate and good sleep. If people get enough sleep, they will have a better appetite, and it will also be conducive to the digestion and absorption of food. Many thin people like to spend the night, playing all night, and then having to work hard the next day, which seriously affects the quality of sleep. It would be strange if they don't lose weight if they continue like this.
Another thing to pay attention to is personal mental health. Nervousness and pressure at work, trouble thinking about little things in life, "crazy" study or work that exceeds the human body's load, etc., will make people lose weight. On the contrary, a happy psychological state and harmonious interpersonal relationships are helpful for weight gain.
■Appropriate exercise
For those thin people who sit in the office for a long time, they should take a certain amount of time to exercise every day. This will not only help improve their appetite, but also make their muscles strong and their body toned. The muscles of the human body are "used or lost". If they are not exercised for a long time, the muscle fibers will relatively atrophy and become weak and weak, and the person will appear thin.
★★★Attachment: Food to gain weight
Yam porridge
Ingredients: yam, cheese, sugar.
Its preparation method can be divided into two types. One is to wash the fresh yam, mash it, add it to the rice porridge when it is cooked, mix well, and then mix in cheese and sugar for consumption; the other method is to dry the yam and grind it into powder, take 30 grams each time, add cold water and mix thoroughly. , place on the stove, cook over low heat, stir constantly, take it off after boiling for two or three times, add cheese and sugar and serve.
Yam has a sweet and mild taste, which can replenish deficiency, grow muscles, and moisturize the skin. It is a wonderful product for treating weight loss and beautifying. Cheese can nourish the lungs and moisturize the skin, nourish yin and promote fluid production. The combination of the two can strengthen the spleen and stomach and help transform the source of energy, so it is very effective for patients with weakness and weight loss.
I often hear thin people complain that there are so many slimming pills available now, but there are no fattening pills. In fact, if you are generally thin and want to gain weight and keep fit, you do not need to resort to drugs. As long as you eat properly and use dietary supplements, you can achieve good results.
People who are thin often suffer from yin deficiency, blood loss and little fluid, so they should eat more sweet and moisturizing products, such as milk, honey, eggs, soft-shelled turtles, sea cucumbers, white fungus, etc. Commonly used effective dietary remedies include: walnut milk drink, honey drink, sea cucumber paste, turtle meat, lily and red date soup, turtle nourishing kidney soup, ginseng and wheat turtle, white fungus and pigeon egg, lily, chicken and yellow soup, etc.
Yin deficiency often results in internal heat, and thin people are more likely to be irritable, dry mouth, sore throat, hypersexuality and other endogenous phenomena of deficiency heat. Therefore, while nourishing, you should also pay attention to clearing the deficiency fire. You can choose to eat clam and wheat asparagus soup, Chrysanthemum meat slices, etc.
1. A balanced diet
You can use high-fat, high-sugar foods such as butter or other edible oils, jams, and sugars to increase calories. Although weight gain is relatively rapid, long-term or excessive consumption will destroy appetite and may cause chronic diseases and endanger health. Adopt a balanced diet and gradually increase food intake to avoid forced supply and destruction of appetite.
2. Develop good eating habits
Eat regularly and quantitatively, eat small amounts frequently, and chew slowly.
3. Change intoMeal program
Eat foods with high concentration and nutrient density first, then other foods.
4. Choose moderately cooked food
Choose moderately cooked food, such as steaming, stewing, stewing, stir-frying, boiling, etc., and avoid foods that are hard and difficult to digest due to frying, frying, roasting, etc.
5. Keep a good mood, arrange a good dining environment, and concentrate on dining.
Stress and anxiety not only affect appetite, but also affect the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract. Increased metabolic rate will consume more calories.
If there is still no way to improve your slender and thin figure, it is recommended that you ask a professional doctor to help you find out why the meat cannot grow, and grow healthy meat in a healthy way!
To gain weight, you can consider foods such as milk, almonds, sesame seeds, cashew nuts, etc. You can add almonds and sesame powder to milk to drink, and cashew nuts can be eaten as snacks, which will have good results.
In the population distribution structure of society, underweight is also a very common group. It's just that with the current trend of weight loss in society, those who are underweight are the envy of most people. However, in fact, underweight people are prone to malnutrition, fatigue, depression, muscle loss and other symptoms. In severe cases, immunity will deteriorate and people will be prone to illness. Especially for the elderly with chronic diseases, it will also increase the chance of complications and poor prognosis.
◎ Gain weight without gaining weight
In academic terms, gaining weight and gaining weight have different meanings. Because "weight gain", as the name suggests, is to increase the proportion of fat in body tissues, and "weight gain" should also include the growth of muscle tissue in addition to the increase of fat. I think what you want to ask is "weight gain" rather than "fat gain"?!
The weight of the human body generally comes from bones, muscles, fat, water and other internal organs. Meaningful "weight gain" should focus on increasing the proportion of muscles and fat. So, how do we carry out the body transformation project? The answer is still "diet" and "exercise"!
【Diet】
In terms of diet, a high-protein, high-calorie diet is the only way to gain weight. Concentrate protein and high-calorie foods, such as heavy cheese cakes, pastries, small cakes, etc. Eat small and frequent meals, and timely supplement papaya enzyme or comprehensive enzymes to help digestion after meals to increase the digestion, absorption and utilization of food.
◎Protein selection
Choose high-quality protein sources, such as eggs, milk, meat, poultry, etc., which should account for more than half of the total daily protein. For plant-based protein, isolated and extracted soy protein powder is more effective because there is less plant fiber that hinders absorption. As for which method is better, eating meat or drinking milk? People who value efficiency can try drinking high-protein milk powder (such as Sanduo milk protein). The protein intake will be higher than drinking ordinary fresh milk or eating meat, and the absorption rate will be higher. The utilization rate is also relatively good.
◎Choice of sugar
Carbohydrate intake is also an important part. Choose foods with higher starch content, such as white toast, steamed buns, white rice, sweet potatoes, taro, pumpkin, etc. When cooking, you can cook it in the form of gravy, soup, thick soup, or add some maltodextrin (generally known as corn hydrolyzed starch, which can be directly added to food) in soup, juice, or milk to increase calorie intake.
◎Choice of fat
For fats, medium-chain fatty acids (MCT) with better absorption and utilization can be used in appropriate amounts to increase the intake of concentrated calories. Pure medium chain fatty acids (MCT) do not contain "essential fatty acids" and need to be used with general fats and oils. It is recommended to choose medium-chain fatty acid products that have been mixed with essential fatty acids (such as Sanduo High Calorie Energy) to avoid the deficiency of essential fatty acids. It is generally recommended that medium-chain fatty acids should account for no more than 60% of the total oil usage.
【Sports】
Those who want to gain weight should use "weight training" as the main method of exercise, rather than the "aerobic exercise" emphasized by those who want to lose weight. Because "aerobic exercise" promotes energy consumption, while "weight training" is used to increase muscle proportion. With the use of dumbbells, barbells and training equipment, combined with the complete contraction and relaxation of large muscle groups, muscle building projects can be achieved.
So what are large muscle groups? They are what we call chest muscles, abdominal muscles, back muscles, leg muscles, biceps and triceps (arms). Through weight training and dietary supplements, large muscle groups can grow, and accordingly some weight will be accumulated.
At present, in the United States, attempts are being made to provide appropriate weight training to the elderly, combined with weight-gaining food supplements, to increase muscle proportions and improve symptoms such as malnutrition, fatigue, depression, muscle depletion, poor immunity, and susceptibility to illness. For the elderly with chronic diseases, it will also reduce the chance of complications and poor prognosis.

As the saying goes, "Water has a source, and trees have roots." There is always a root cause of obesity in people.

◇How can thin people become stronger?
According to several coaches at Donglin Health City, when thin people perform bodybuilding exercises, they must first figure out what kind of weight loss they have. Because weight loss can be divided into simple weight loss and secondary weight loss. Simple wasting has no clear endocrine disease, and secondary wasting is caused by organic lesions of the nervous system or endocrine system. If it is secondary weight loss, please recover from the illness before doing bodybuilding exercises. If it is simple weight loss, then you should pay special attention to the following issues when doing bodybuilding exercises:
◇Arrange the amount of exercise reasonably
The arrangement of exercise volume is one of the important links in scientific exercise. Practice has proved that people who are emaciated should do aerobic exercise with a moderate amount of exercise (heart rate between 130 and 160 beats per minute), and the weight of the equipment should be a moderate load (50% to 80% of the maximum muscle strength). The schedule can be practiced three times a week (once every other day), for 1 to 1 and a half hours each time. Practice 8 to 10 movements each time, and do 3 to 4 groups of each movement. The method is to contract quickly, pause briefly, and stretch slowly. The time to perform a group of movements continuously is about 60 seconds, with a 20 to 60 second interval between groups, and a 1 to 2 minute interval for each movement. Under normal circumstances, each group should be able to complete 8 to 15 times in a row. If the number of times in each group cannot reach 8 times, the weight can be appropriately reduced; the last two movements that must be completed with all one's strength will stimulate the muscle tissue deeply, " "Excessive recovery" is obvious and the exercise effect is excellent.
◇Pay attention to safety
The equipment for bodybuilding exercise has a certain weight. Not only do you need to prepare and organize the equipment before and after exercise, but you also need to check whether the equipment is firmly installed to prevent accidents. When exercising, pay attention to whether the weightExercise moderation and never do exercises beyond your ability. When using heavy equipment such as barbells, someone must protect you. It is best to exercise under the guidance of professional coaches so that you can encourage, help and protect each other.
◇Lay a good foundation
During the initial training stage (2 to 3 months), it is best for those who are emaciated to attend a bodybuilding training class to learn and exercise in order to master movement techniques correctly and systematically and comprehensively improve their physical fitness. Pay special attention to the exercise of muscle strength and endurance, gradually improve the body's adaptability, and lay a good foundation.
◇Be focused and targeted
After 2 to 3 months of exercise, the emaciated person will have significantly stronger physical strength and more energy than before. At this time, you should focus on exercising large muscle groups, such as pectoralis major, deltoid muscles, biceps, triceps, latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus and quadriceps, etc. The amount of exercise should be adjusted at any time. In addition, the same part of the muscle group can be exercised using different movements and different equipment, and the muscle groups must be contracted independently. As muscle strength and movement coordination improve, the effect of exercise will become more and more significant. Under normal circumstances, the exercises should be changed every one and a half to two months. In addition, when exercising, your mind (thoughts) should be concentrated on the parts being practiced, and talking, laughing, listening to music, etc. should be avoided. The stronger the sense of soreness, swelling, fullness, and heat in the muscles of the trained part, the better the exercise effect. In this way, if you persist for another six months to one year, your body shape will change significantly.
◇Practice less in other events
When emaciated people perform bodybuilding exercises, it is best to participate less in other sports, especially endurance sports, such as long-distance running, playing football, and basketball. Because these exercises consume more energy, they are not conducive to muscle growth, and they will make you lose weight as you practice. In addition, don't do other activities that consume too much energy.
◇Reasonable meals
Only when the energy intake is greater than the energy consumed can a person become fat. Therefore, the diet for emaciated people must be reasonable and diverse, and there must be no partial eclipse. In addition to eating meat, eggs, and poultry rich in animal protein, you should also eat more soy products, adzuki beans, lilies, vegetables, fruits, etc. As long as the diet is comprehensive and nutritious, easy for digestion and absorption, and coupled with appropriate bodybuilding exercises, you can become plump in a relatively short period of time.
◇Strong confidence and perseverance
It takes more than a day or two for an emaciated person to change his body shape from thin to strong, plump and toned. The exercise method of "eating a fat man in one bite" based on "temporary heat" will not work. The exercise method is wrong and the effect is not obvious, so he will lose confidence. No, only by having firm confidence in victory, being prepared to endure hardships, and actively carrying out scientific, planned, and unremitting exercise with high emotions can we achieve final success.
