Question
My daughter is 9 years old, and in the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that she weighs much more than other children her age. Additionally, she seems to eat without control, often lying down after meals. How should I treat her obesity if she loves eating meat?
Answer
Child obesity can be initially treated by increasing physical activity and controlling diet to alleviate symptoms. Parents should supervise their children in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., and encourage them to consume high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Children should avoid high-calorie foods and should not overeat; instead, they should be encouraged to be more active. In the treatment of child obesity, if the condition is severe, it is advisable to take the child to a regular hospital for treatment.
