Looking for some advice to improve my health.

[xSofiax]

I don't really know how to properly explain this, I guess the simple version is I'm looking for a way to gain weight (not quickly or a lot) and a way to improve my fitness/stamina.

I'm really really thin, I think I weight the average of a 12 year old, I checked out some BMI calculator sites (I don't know how accurate they are) but it tells me my BMI is roughly 17.5~ which is apparently underweight (which I kind of already knew).

I've kinda been feeling sick lately and I've read that it could be due to my weight, so I'm trying to improve my health I just don't really know what to do or where to start.

I don't really eat a lot, although I don't starve myself or anything, I never eat anything after around 8pm but before then I'll eat something if I get hungry, I don't purposely not eat or anything but I just do not seem to gain any weight.

I do not really do any exercise either, I think I'm really out of shape since I'm getting tired very easily right now, I'm just looking for a basic way to improve this, something I can do easily maybe with just my friend or sister or something.

If you believe you eat healthy then don't change the way you eat but feel free to slightly increase your portions and take a vitamin supplement once daily. Drink a glass of milk every day, it will help fortify your bones and allow them to grow without thinning. Eggs are a great way to load up on cholesterol which is the fundamental building block to most of the the growth hormones made in your body. omelet, sunny side up... it really doesn't matter how they are prepared, just don't eat em raw.

Last but not least you really should exercise. You don't have to weight lift or strength train but at least do cardio and stretches. Treadmill, elliptical, and bikes are a great way to cover that base. If you improve your endurance and circulation then your body will follow suit.

I knew you're not from the USA because no American faces such problem - ever!

Take multivitamins, eat more meat for iron, add more milk-products, add some fruit and start some sport or activity you like, you don't need to rush - do stuff at your own pace.

..but - don't expect your energy to improve, as during the autumn there's masssssive energy-crash and fatigue for everyone because of the lack of sunlight and thus the health suffers aswell.

Simply increase calorie intake. Start doubling portions, and track how many callories, try to meet the amount for weight gain. link
