What should I do for proportionate growth?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 23 years old. My diet is normal, but my body is not growing proportionately. Only my stomach is growing. My BMI is 28.14. What should I do about it?

Please help.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have mentioned your body mass index (BMI), which is 28.14 and is normal in this age group. To remain healthy, you should start doing a morning walk and join a gym if you want to build your muscles. Also, you should start eating more protein in your diet, like eggs, chicken, and soybeans. Try to eat mostly at home and not outside. This will also help keep you in good shape. Do you drink or smoke? If yes, then you should reduce it.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You should start eating paneer, soybean, more pulses at least once in your meal per day, and drink two glasses of milk. You should sleep at least eight hours in night as it is very important for good health. Stop eating fatty and fried food like pizza, burgers, and samosas.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
