Underweight

2017-07-19 19:02:59
I have been underweight and inspite of several attempts at healthy food intake, i am unable to gain weight. Recently visited a dietitian who says that my body cells are inactive and thus are not responding to the intake of nutritients. What should i prefer? Medications, cell activator (suggested by dietitian) or should i head to a gym?
