I've overcome a lot of challenges, and have a strong educational background in psychology and communications. I believe that common sense and honesty are key to success in life -- and that most of us have common sense which we choose to ignore when making decisions.

My name is akshay and i am fifteen years old. I am very lean and thin. I am very tensed about my weight. My weight is approximately 45 kgs. I don't play much and stay away from games and sports, because i don't want to burn too much calories by indulging in sports. I know that by exercising, i will become a healthy individual. But i think that if i do exercise i will decrease my weight. Is this thought correct? On the other hand, however much i eat, there's on increase in my weight. I have taken 3 months of weight gainers, but still there's no hope of weight gain. Please advice...... (link)

Hi Ashkay,
Exercise is important for the health of your heart, lungs, and muscles. It's also a good habit to get into, for health in later life. Low-impact aerobics, such as walking or gentle biking or swimming, won't burn huge amounts of calories, but will be good for your body.You're right that sports training can burn a lot of calories, but a brisk walk or cycling for pleasure shouldn't burn enough to negatively affect you.
Some people just have very fast metabolisms when they are in their teens, but if you are worried, you might want to see a doctor just to make sure there's no other underlying cause for weight loss. You should also consult with a doctor or nutritionist before taking any kind of supplement such as "weight gainers," as you might not have enough knowledge to gauge whether they are safe for you. It is important to be very careful at your age about what you put into your still-developing body, so you should seek input from a professional who has your health in mind.

Well, very very thanks for the advice. Well, ummm.... I have actually seen a doctor concerning the cause of my low weight. He said that there's no underlying cause / disease that is pushing down my weight. He said that your weight will increase in your twenties. So don't panic. But still, you know, the pain resides. And being loW WEIGHT is no good.
