Hello ma'am I'm 22 years old male with a height of 5 feet 2 inches and a body weight of just 35 kilograms I've been facing a really poor appetite for a few years now, tried homeopathic medicine but didn't work, and still, the same issue persists, even when I feel hungry, and sit to have my meal I feel full just after having two chapatis the third one gets too tough to have, I tired my meals into smaller ones, making it from 3 big meals to 5 smaller meals but that also didn't work for me. Someone asked me to take Zandu Pancharishta, but I don't know whether it will work or not. I'm suffering a lot due to low weight. I just want to have a richer appetite and increase my weight so that I can focus more on my physical well-being. Thank you.

Ans: I’m sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing with your appetite and weight. Focus on high-calorie, nutrient-dense foods like nuts, seeds, avocados, and dairy products. These can help you gain weight without needing to eat large quantities such as smoothies, protein shakes, or yogurt with granola. Light exercises like walking or yoga can help stimulate your appetite and improve overall well-being. Include strengthening exercises to increase muscle mass and remain well hydrated. Consult a professional dietician who will be plan a diet and exercise schedule as per your requirements

Dear Sir, I have another question: I have been investing in the Bajaj Allianz Life Goal Assurance Plan for the past five years, which is a combination of insurance and investment. The total premium payment duration is 10 years, with a SIP of ?10,000 per month, followed by a lock-in period of an additional 5 years So far, my monthly contributions of ?10,000 have grown to ?9.40 lakhs, with an approximate CAGR of 16%, although the insurance coverage remains at ?12 lakhs. Initially, I did not have much knowledge but continued investing due to the plan’s market-linked structure. For the first five years, my funds were allocated to Pure Stock II and Equity Growth funds basically large-cap. Recently, mid-cap and small-cap index funds were also added to their portfolio. Now that I’ve completed 5 years of investing in large-cap components, I am considering allocating the remaining 5 years to mid-cap and small-cap funds, without increasing the SIP. This would be done through a fund switch from large-cap to mid-cap and small-cap or by dividing the allocation equally—25% each across pure-stock, equity growth, mid-cap, and small-cap funds. Would you recommend this strategy while allowing the large-cap corpurs from the first 5 years to grow at their own pace and remaining 5 years switched into mid-cap/small-cap. Since the policy will mature in 2034, this gives me ample time for the investment to grow, allowing the corpus to build significantly over the remaining years
Ans: Since you are looking for 10 year time horizon, I recommend you divide the allocation equally(25%) across pure stock, equity growth, midcap index and small cap quality index funds.

Happy Investing!!
