Question
How to Solve Child Obesity?
Answer
Primarily, control the child’s diet by ensuring reasonable eating habits and avoiding alcohol and fried foods. It is suggested that children engage in more physical activity, exercising for at least one to two hours a day, and they must be persistent in their exercise. They should also reduce their intake of oil and fat, and increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables. Before implementing dietary control, it is necessary to patiently and thoroughly explain the dangers of child obesity. In terms of treatment via food (TCM) (food therapy), parents must be involved and are required to acquire some relevant knowledge, such as not allowing children to overeat or consume excessive amounts, and not providing high-sugar, high-fat, or high-calorie diets. It can be quite challenging to treat children on a diet and make them endure hunger. Therefore, after a period of time, it is important to return to normal eating habits.
