Sir, I am 60 years old. I eat sufficient food, my sugar level is normal. But day by day I am becoming slim. I walk 6-7 k. M per day and do pranayama regularly. What is the cause of my weight loss.

To gain weight it's very important to balance with your intake with the expenditure. As you are doing 6 -7 kms daily so it might be posiible that you are burning more calories per day than you are consuming. Reduce the walk upto 2 kms and increase you intake by including high calorie food in your diet such as milk & milk products, soy, nuts in your diet.
