Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I want to gain weight and build muscles. Can I use an ayurvedic weight-gaining supplement powder available in the market?
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I usually do not prescribe actively marketed weight-gaining supplement products. Instead, I advise you to indulge in regular physical activity and a healthy diet to gain weight and build muscles. I suggest the following.
1. Do a little cardio followed by strength training. Start by lifting lighter weights. Listen to your body, and slowly move on to heavier weights when it allows you.
2. You can hire a qualified trainer to help you get results faster and guide you to do your exercises correctly, as improper posture and breathing patterns during exercise can lead to injury.
3. Have a healthy diet.
4. Increase protein intake by having sprouts, nuts, egg white, and lean meats like fish and chicken.
5. Follow up your workouts by drinking a whey protein supplement within 10 minutes of completing your workout. You can use any one of the popular brands available in the market.
6. Have a good 8-hour sleep and eat meals right on time.
I hope I have answered your query and was helpful.
Thank you.
