Getting extremely thin
My grandfather's health has reduced drastically. He has no fat left in body. Bones are visible and veins, he looks very weak. My grandma passed away 3 years ago, after that his body has become very weak. He takes proper food though. He doesn't have any major illness. But his BP doesn't remain fine so he take some medication for bp (rosulip, olsar, geripod). He had some problem in palm, it used to shiver. So he is taking some medication for that also (syndopa, rasalect). Rest everything is fine. He has always adopted a fit lifestyle and diet also. But within last three years, his health is getting drastically down and he looks extremely weak and skinny. Please help doctor.

Give him Ashwagandha rasayana two tsf twice a day.
Milk and milk products are also good.
Banana,papaya are super foods.
Cooked vegetable soup is fine.

Hi
Thanks for your query
Your grandfather needs continuous monitoring and for that someone needs to be with him all the time to take proper care of him that in turn also helps him in his mental wellbeing...
It also seems you grandfather has little Parkinson's problem ( Nerves related) also for his palm shaking..as Parkinson's is little common in older subjects..and needs doctor intervention..
For BP ..low salt intake in everyday diet is a must and being at peace without stress and constant worry is must..for that someone who cares about him much should be with them continuously as much as they can for his mental health and wellness..
His condition will improve certainly over time..with consistent daily proper care to physical health and psychological health..
For further details contact through practo for a detailed analysis and customized diet session..
