If the secondary causes are ruled out you can try following steps for weight gain. 1.Eat lot of proteins. Protein forms the building blocks of your muscles. Eating sufficient protein is required to gain muscle weight instead of just fat.

High protein foods include meats, fish, eggs, many dairy products, legumes, nuts and others. Protein supplements like whey protein can also be useful if you struggle to get enough protein in your diet. 2.Eat at least 3 meals per day and make sure to eat plenty of fat and carb 3.Eat lot of energy dense food.

Little white bumps on the shaft of the penis may be pimples, a skin cyst, or ingrown hairs. Another condition that's normal and no cause for concern is pearly penile papules.

Pimples occurs when penile pores clog with oil, sweat, and debris — just like pimples on your face. They have a a whitish appearance due to trapped oil.

Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection that affects the skin of your genitals, inner thighs and buttocks. Jock itch causes an itchy, red, often ring-shaped rash in these warm, moist areas of your body. It can easily be managed by selfcare. Keep the area as dry as possible by always using a clean towel after showering or swimming. Avoid sharing towels. Try to avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing and undergarments. Wash athletic supporters as often as possible. Change clothes and undergarments daily. Treat any other fungal infections you may have, such as athlete’s foot, because they’re similar and can lead to reinfection through contact. Don't share your clothes and towels with others.

Headaches can be due to many reasons. Headaches fall into three main categories: tension-type, migraine and cervicogenic. Tension-type headaches are the most frequent. Patients who endure tension-type headaches usually feel mild to moderate pain on both sides of the head. The pain is usually described as tight, stiff or constricting, as if something is being wrapped around your head and squeezed tightly. While migraines have a much shorter duration, their symptoms are much more severe, with pain that usually occurs on one side of the head. Migraines can be so severe that they can cause loss of appetite, blurred vision, nausea and even vomiting. Cervicogenic headaches are musculoskeletal in nature. They may be caused by pain in the neck or spine that is transferred to the head. You have to watch your diet as certain food items can trigger headaches. Frequently reported triggers include alcohol, including red wine and beer, artificial sweeteners, caffeine withdrawal, chocolate, processed meats and foods containing MSG, histamine, and tyramine, but you know your body best—so take inventory of any foods you eat often that you suspect may be triggering your headache. Acupuncture can offer effective treatment for any type of headache. Unlike synthetic drugs, acupuncture has virtually no side effects, and the procedures for treating headaches are much less invasive with acupuncture than with surgery. Try to meet a BNYS doctor to avail acupuncture for your headache.

Indulge every once in a while in dark chocolate, which also helps lower cortisol. Avocados, eggs, milk, and meat are all packed with B vitamins that can help prevent anxiety. Some popular natural alternatives to prescribed beta blockers are Magnesium, Potassium,L-arginine, Tryptophan,Antioxidants and St. John Wort. You can also try Acupuncture treatment for anxiety.

You can try modified atkins diet. It's a double edged sword which will help you to control seizures as well as to reduce weight.

Allowed breakfast foods include high-fat meats such as bacon, sausage and ham, as well as eggs and cheese. You can add small amounts of low-carb vegetables to eggs for omelets. Low-carb breads may be allowed in small amounts, as long as the total carbohydrate intake remains within the prescribed levels. You can use butter liberally. Pancakes can be made from soy or almond flour, which are not made from grains. Don't drink fruit juices, which contain large amounts of carbohydrates. For lunch and dinner, mix tuna or chicken salad with mayonnaise, a high-fat, low-carb food. Low-carb vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, onions, spinach, cabbage, string beans, spaghetti squash and Brussels sprouts. Limit fruits to the allowed carbohydrate count, which will add up to very little fruit. If you are a complete vegetarian Tofu, Nuts & Seeds like pumpkin & sunflower seeds, beans,long grain brown rice, cottage cheese etc can be considered as substitutes for meat.
