Sobrang payat ko po. I'm turning 23 na. Pero kahit anong gawin ko, di parin ako tumataba. As in ang payat payat ko. What should I do to gain weight? Ano po yung vitamins na pwede ko i-take?


Translation: I am too thin. I'm turning 23 years old, but no matter what I do, I can't gain weight. I'm really underweight. What vitamins can I take to gain weight?

Ang basic na paraan para tumaba is bawasan mo ang activities mo at damihan mo ang food intake mo. But that is not healthy so I wouldn't really recommend it.

SO, baka may ibang reason ang pagiging sobrang underweight mo. You might want to have yourself checked by and IM-endocrinologist para mas maassess nya ang mga hormones mo na involved sa pagiging underweight mo gaya ng thyroid hormones mo.
