The healthy way to gain weight is to increase muscle size, not gain excess fat.

Exercising is the most effective ways to reduce muscle loss (sarcopenia) and increase muscle mass. Studies show that resistance training, as well as walking, helps people reduce the chance of developing sarcopenia.

When it comes to muscle, if you don’t use it, you lose it. This is why consistently being active increases muscle mass and improves body tone.

Diet plays a significant role in weight gain and the type of food you consume is important.

Protein is the building block of muscle tissue. Protein is essential to maintain muscle mass. Enjoy meat, nuts, seeds, eggs, lentils and plenty more protein sources.

It is also necessary to consume healthy fats coming from avocados, coconut, red meat, eggs, nuts and fatty fish. Not only will they improve weight but they also help to deposit fat in the correct parts of the body. The part of the body that should not gain excess fat is the belly (also known as visceral fat) as it can lead to a host of health problems.Healthy fats in coconut have been shown to remove cellulite and deposit fat in the right parts of the body while removing belly fat. Coconut helps you improve body shape and size. Enjoy coconut in the form of coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut water, coconut yoghurt, coconut kefir or coconut meat.

If the body is underweight, coconut will surprisingly help to increase weight to your original shape and size.

Vitamin D is essential for bone health and muscle health. Increased vitamin D has been linked to increased muscle mass.

Healthy carbohydrates to consume are brown rice and rolled oats.
