Answers:
'Health' is partly correct; eating a good range of nutritious food is important!.
BUT there are no 'magic' foods that will add healthy mass to your body!. Healthy extra weight means MUSCLE, and muscles can only be improved by doing the right kind of activity!.
To increase your muscle mass (making you more powerful and agile, as well as heavier and healthier), you need to do exercises that exhaust your muscles quickly!. Lifting heavy weights, using high resistance on the Gym machines, and punching a heavy training bag or target, will all build powerful muscles!.
You can also do 'cardio' exercises against added resistance (for example, running or skipping with a weighted backpack or wrist & ankle weights, swimming or running while wearing a small 'parachute', or practising tennis strokes or throwing techniques while holding an elastic strap or bungee)!.
Avoid long, slow, gentle exercise methods!. These techniques will burn more fat, but do not stimulate muscle growth!. Working hard, with long 'recovery rest' between sets & sessions, will allow some bodyfat to accumulate, but this will enhance the appearance of your extra muscle mass, by making it look sleek and streamlined instead of knobbly and hard!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you want to put on healthy weight, all you need to do is take in more calories than you burn!. Still eat reasonably healthily because its still better for your organs but eat as much as you want! Also lots of weight lifting or aerobics exercises will help you gain lots of muscle!. Leg step ups and squats are best because you'd probably prefer to tone your legs nicely rather than build up your arms!. It would be healthier to build up muscle but because your already so slim, I wouldn't want you to lose weight from so much exercises!. So I recommend still doing exercise, but not full on and eating as much as you want really!. Then when you're at a happy weight, you can start toning yourself more and changing any fat that you put on into muscle!. Muscle weighs more than fat, so that's the way to go for a healthy weight!.
Good luck with it! Hope this helps!

Eating is the first and most important factor that is needed for proper weight gain!. It's simple - you need to eat more calories than you burn!. This does not mean eating anything and everything that is not nailed down!. Carefully plan your meals with foods that will help you gain lean mass, not fat!. I suggest 6 meals!. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and three other small meals scheduled throughout the day!. The goal is to eat every 2!.5 to 3 hours!.
Focus on foods such as steak, chicken, fruit, milk, vegetables, cheese and assorted types of nuts!. It's recommended to eat 4 - 6 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and at least four tall glasses of milk!. Milk is a great, cheap protein source - take advantage of it!. A sample snack meal would be a glass of milk, an apple, and a hand full of peanuts!.
