Gaining Weight Nutrition

Should weight gainers take higher amount of amino acids in their diet. How can it help?
(May 31, 2010)

The best way to work towards gaining weight and keeping it on is to work on it in a slow and dedicated manner. It is not difficult to gain unhealthy weight. However, the trick is to gain healthy weight. The following few healthy weight gain tips will ensure that you gain weight naturally and in a healthy manner. Methods that are slow and steady will work well and will also last long.


The first step towards weight gain is to find a good balance between diet and exercise. Instead of a couple or three large meals a day, it is better to eat between five and seven small meals. This may be really tough in the beginning, particularly for people who are not used to it, but it really does work, as empirical evidence proves. Eating fatty food to gain weight is also a poor idea. Instead, well balanced meals that are generously endowed with carbohydrates and calories are the way to go. Amino acids can be found in certain protein blends, and this will be categorically stated on the nutritional content list on the cover of these products. Adding some amount of amino acids to the diet is a good thing, but always guard against adding too much, as this can worsen good health. It is important to keep in mind that good health is brought about by a healthy balance, and not an excess of any one thing. Mid meals and snacks can be a protein shake, or milk, or even any of these blends that can be added to juice or other liquids. This should complete any excessive need for this particular chemical for the body.

It is also important to exercise in order to gain weight. Exercise improves blood circulation, promotes hunger and also help to cleanse the body by making it sweat and pant. Panting is considered to be one of the best ways to keep up the circulation. In terms of Yoga, deep and hard breathing is considered to be the body’s method of pumping out toxins and getting in more oxygen into the system, thus making a person healthier. Early morning exercise is usually the best way to go, since it will help to get a vitality filled start to the day and by evening, when its time to rest, the tiredness begins to catch up with the body. This will also aid in good, sound and restorative sleep, which always helps to keep good health. Drinking plenty of fluids is also important when a person adds exercise to a daily routine. A combination of these methods should help to gain weight and keep it on.
