Dear Sudha, Thank you for the question

According to your mentioned Height & weight your BMI is 15.6kg/m2 which falls into the underweight BMI range as per WHO classification.
The causes of underweight can be due to genetics, inadequate food intake, stress, hormonal imbalance, malabsorption or other underlying health condition.
Weight management requires lifestyle as well as dietary modifications.

Here are few guidelines that can be considered
- Maintain a positive energy balance where the calorie intake should be more than the energy expenditure.
- Have a Diversified Balanced Diet that includes all the food groups in the right quantity which thereby provides you with all the essential macro and micro nutrients that your body requires daily for proper functioning.
- Try to incorporate the My plate Concept by dividing your plate into 4 quadrants, fill half of your plate with fruits and vegetables, the other two quadrants with cereals and protein. A small quantity of dairy intake is recommendable.
- -Begin your day with a well-balanced breakfast as it is an important meal of the day.
- Include energy dense foods, keeping in mind the daily needs.
- Do not skip meals. Eat small frequent meals.
- Three major meals a day with healthy nutritious snacks in between is preferred.
- Try to increase the serving size and portion size gradually and systematically
- Include healthy fats from nuts and seeds.
- Include protein sources (plant and/or animal sources) such as lentils, milk, paneer, lean meat, egg etc.
- Indulging physical activity can help in increasing the appetite and give a feeling of hunger.
- Try to follow a good sleep regimen that is in terms of both quantity and quality

Dear Daiamon, Thank you for the question

Indigestion, poor or slow digestion can be due to digestive issues like gastritis, IBS, constipation, intolerances or any other underlying health condition. For further diagnosis and assistance kindly contact your specialized health care professional.
Here are a few guidelines for general digestive health.
- Do not skip your meals, have small frequent meals at regular intervals.
- Avoid large, heavy meals, and practice portion guidance.
- Eat a well-balanced diet including minimum 5 serving of vegetables and 1 serving of fruit in a day as they are good sources of fiber and essential nutrients such as vitamin A, Vitamin B, iron, zinc etc.
- Healthy snacks in between meals are preferable.
- Deep fried foods to be restricted. Method of cooking like baking, grilling, boiling, steaming is preferable over deep frying with excess fat/ oil.
- Food should be eaten slowly and chewed well as fast eating provokes gastric feeding reflex.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day
- Engage in physical activity for a minimum of 30-45 minutes for at least 5 days a week.
- Maintain a minimum gap of 2-3 hours between your bed time and last meal.
