Question
A 4-year-old girl has recently become increasingly overweight, eating several bowls of rice at a meal and preferring meat. She tends to lie down after eating. How should we address her obesity and meat preference?
Answer
To tackle the issue of childhood obesity, first, you can establish her exercise routine and modify her diet. As a parent, you should supervise her participation in aerobic activities like jogging or swimming. During this period, encourage her to consume more vegetables that can help improve obesity, such as winter melon and green peas. Avoid giving her high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. Strictly control her food intake and prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for improving a child’s obesity. If the situation is severe, it is essential to take the child to a regular hospital for treatment.
