But with the right weight management programmes and the addition of energy-dense healthy foods to the daily diet, weight gain is achievable.

Avocado is a fruit loaded with vitamins C, E, and K. It is also a good source of minerals and dietary fibres like folate and copper. Avocados can be consumed as a dip, in a sandwich or salad, or simply as a milkshake.
