I am 21 years of age and I am very thin. I eat a proper diet. But I do not gain weight. All my blood tests are normal. Why am I not gaining weight?

Perhaps you are eating but the food is not getting digested properly. That means your digestive system is tired. Give it rest by fasting for three days. Take an enema every day on those days. Alternatively drink one cup of spinach juice every day. This will give adequate rest to your digestive system. Then eat about 2000 calories every day. Include about 20 gms of ghee or butter in your diet. Ensure that you do not eat fried foods or spicy foods in order to gain weight. These foods tire your system. Continue fasting for one day every week. That will keep your system working well.
