Okay but joining gym is necessary?
Dr. Anmol Kumar
I am a practicing General Physician with a strong foundation in diagnosing and treating a wide range of acute and chronic medical conditions. My role involves serving as the first point of contact for patients seeking care for everyday health concerns, offering comprehensive assessments and personalized treatment plans that address the root cause of illness rather than just the symptoms. I approach each case with attention to detail, whether it's managing a fever, infection, gastrointestinal complaint, or supporting patients with long-term conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or respiratory issues. My clinical practice focuses on preventive healthcare, routine health check-ups, and early diagnosis, helping patients maintain wellness and avoid complications. I believe in building a strong doctor-patient relationship through open communication, patient education, and continuity of care. I make it a priority to explain each health condition in simple, relatable terms, empowering individuals to take an active role in their recovery and long-term health. Beyond treating physical symptoms, I also recognize the importance of mental and emotional well-being. Many patients today struggle with stress, fatigue, poor sleep, or lifestyle-related issues, and I strive to offer holistic support that considers their full spectrum of health needs. I work collaboratively with specialists whenever necessary to ensure that my patients receive coordinated and well-rounded medical care. My experience as a general physician has taught me that early intervention, attentive listening, and consistent follow-up can make a significant difference in a patient’s quality of life. Whether it's a simple seasonal illness or a complex chronic condition, I aim to provide timely, ethical, and effective treatment, rooted in scientific knowledge and compassionate care.

Sure
Gaining weight can indeed be tricky, especially if you've been consistently underweight and struggling with digestive issues. Let's explore a blend of Ayurvedic wisdom and practical advice for your situation. First, it’s essential to understand the role of your digestive fire, or agni, in weight gain. An imbalance in agni can lead to poor digestion and absorption of nutrients, contributing to low body weight. Balancing your agni starts with your diet. Focus on including warm, easy-to-digest foods that support your digestive system. Incorporating ghee in your meals helps nourish the tissues and boosts digestion. Start by adding a small teaspoon of ghee in warm rice or lentils, especially in lunch, for a gentle digestive boost. Your digestion may benefit from spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel—these are not just flavor enhancers but also aid digestion. You might want to try sipping on warm ginger tea throughout the day to stimulate your digestive fire. Take half a teaspoon of fresh ginger mixed with a pinch of salt before meals; this can help enhance your appetite and digestion. Exercise, like gym workouts, can be beneficial for weight gain, but it must be approached correctly. Start with mild-to-moderate exercises like yoga, which is less demanding on the digestive system rather than jumping straight into vigorous gym routines which can be overly taxing if you're not used to them. Focus on strength-building exercises as they can help increase muscle mass, but start slow and gradually increase intensity. Remember the importance of consistent, regular meals—skipping meals can dampen agni further. Keep at least three meals daily with snacks in-between if needed. Also, staying hydrated is crucial, but try to avoid drinking too much water immediately before meals, as it can dilute digestive enzymes. Consider practicing regular meditation or pranayama as stress can further disrupt digestion and nutrient absorption. If you're unsure or concerned about your gut issues, it would be wise to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to develop a personalized plan that considers your unique dosha constitution. Ensuring your body receives the necessary nutrients requires addressing both dietary habits and lifestyle. Making these tailored adjustments, keeping your digestive balance in mind, could be a step towards healthy weight gain.
