Question
A nine-year-old child’s weight has been steadily increasing, now reaching 97 jin. They had a medical check-up last summer but were unable to find a doctor as scheduled. This year, they want to seek expert advice and wonder about the doctor’s weekly consultation hours and how to book an expert appointment.
Answer
A continuous increase in a child’s weight may be related to strong gastrointestinal absorption and insufficient exercise. To reduce the risk of obesity, it is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid fried and high-fat foods, and reduce the intake of snacks and overly sweet foods. Encourage the child to participate in more physical activities such as running, swimming, and other sports. It is best to avoid using weight loss medications, as the key to weight loss is a sustained change in lifestyle. Do you have any other questions? I’m more than happy to help.
