To remain healthy, it is essential to have body weight that is proportionate to your height. Your ideal body weight depends on your height, age and gender.
Too little or too much weight has negative impacts on your health. While most people struggle with obesity, many people are underweight, too. To determine your ideal weight, you can use this BMI calculator.
Being underweight can be due to excessive physical activity, skipping meals, too much fasting, emotional stress, genetic factors, lack of sleep, a weak digestive system, and some diseases like cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, hyperthyroidism or anorexia.
It’s important to take steps to increase your body weight. Being underweight can lead to bone loss, heart problems, infertility, anemia, a weak immune system and frequent illness.
Here are the top home remedies to aid weight gain.
1. Raisins:
Eat about one-fifth cup of dried raisins throughout the day for about a month. This is one of the easiest ways to gain weight.
Alternatively, soak one-fifth cup of raisins and five to six dried figs in water overnight. The following day, eat them in two parts. Follow this routine for about a month.
2. Clarified Butter:
Mix one tablespoon of clarified butter with one tablespoon of sugar.
Eat this mixture twice daily, at least 30 minutes before eating your lunch and dinner.
Follow this routine for a month.

Alternatively, eat one ripe mango followed by a glass of milk. Do this two or three times a day for a month.

You can also prepare potato chips at home in a healthy oil like olive oil and have them just twice a week for one or two months.
5. Eggs:
