Question
I would like to inquire about a child born in October 2011, who is 117 centimeters tall and weighs 35 kilograms. Is this physical condition healthy? How should we deal with the issue of obesity?
Answer
Based on the child’s age and height, it can be determined that their weight is outside the normal range. It is recommended to increase physical activity to promote metabolism and energy expenditure. Develop good eating habits, avoiding overeating and eating too quickly, among other badhabits. Try to reduce the intake of high-energy foods such as chocolate, butter, including ice cream, candy, and fatty meats.
