Tested and trust home remedies for weight gain

Many people say it is easier to gain weight than lose it, some beg to differ as it takes forever for them to add weight.

Whatever the case may be, none of these two is an easy feat, and thus you should be celebrated when you intentionally embark on either one of them.

Numerous reasons can be attributed to the inability of gaining weight, from stress to unhealthy eating habits and irregular eating. Home remedies are a perfect way to go about weight gain; these remedies can be readily found at home or the market and can be used without interrupting the individual's overall life.

Here is a list of such remedies;

1. Afternoon naps

This is one of the easiest ways to gain weight. If you want to gain weight, you must love afternoon naps. Sleeping for 45 minutes to an hour would help your mind relax and your muscles. Sleep in the afternoon daily and gain weight- best hack, I tell you.

2. Dates and high-fat dairy mixture

Another way to gain weight is by incorporating a blend of dates and milk into your daily diet. Dates are dried fruits that contain so many vitamins to ensure a rich life. Dairy products are a source of protein; High-fat dairy products, as the name implies, have a high-fat concentration. Examples are whole milk, whipped cream, cheese and full cream yoghurt. A blend of any of these with dates is a banger, my dears.

Put your dates in a smoothie blender or any variation of blender you have, add yoghurt and blend away. If you are using powdered milk, it is advised to add lukewarm water to the mix to have a well-blended mixture.

3. Banana milkshake

Bananas contain fattening properties and calories that can aid weight gain. Add your preferred amount of banana fingers into a blender, add 2 cups of milk(full creamed liquid milk), if you have ice cream, you can add a scoop. Adding sugar is optional; blend this, and your milkshake is ready. Take this in the morning and night and watch the wonders it will do in your body.

4. Incorporate fattier cuts of meat into your meals.

Meats like chicken, pork, beef etc., are good sources of high content protein. . It is also advised to fry them instead of just boiling them; frying helps to soak up oil which is a fattening agent.

Other products you can add to your daily diet include dark chocolates, chocolate cakes, avocados and peanut butter.

Staying consistent is vital; gaining weight doesn't happen in a day, so take it easy on yourself.
