From an āyurvedic perspective there are 3 body types¹ - vata, pita and kapha. It would be good to find out your body type. Then you can see if you are
just a naturally thin person and look to the foods that are best for your composition. There are some simple 'tests' you can find on line.
A questionnaire to figure out your body type : http://www.holisticonline.com/ayurveda/w_ayurveda-dtest1.htm
Note the 4 parts to the questionnaire - look in the left side of your screen for Part 1,2,3 & 4.
You can also 'google' auyurveda if you wish to learn more of this approach. PLease feel free to ask questions about this ancient science of āyur- ved.
This is from āyus = life , vital power , vigour , health , duration of life , long life + ved = knowledge.
praṇām
1. 3 body types with different combinations that are possible: vata-pita, pita-kapha, etc.
