Please do not blame genetics for any health issue. Genetics only plays a small role. What you should do is do a lifestyle and dietary change then you will put on weight which should be just enough to keep you healthy and prevent all lifestyle diseases quite common I n youngsters Being thin is healthy. You do not have to put on weight to create health issues in the future do the right tests, est the right food, exercise well sleep well take healthy food supplements do not buy any advertised supplements on TV and internet They cause liver and kidney damage because they do not reveal the ingredients and they put artificial colors and flavors which can cause cancer. You please get educated and not medicated. Take a consult if want to know how diet will help in shape your health. Remember you cannot fix your health without fixing your diet.
