Question
My daughter is 9 years old, and I’ve recently noticed that she’s gaining weight rapidly. She eats more than most children and is also very lazy. How should I treat a child who loves meat for obesity?
Answer
For pediatric obesity, you can start by creating a physical activity plan for the child and adjusting their diet. Encourage them to participate in aerobic exercises such as hill climbing and swimming, and promote the consumption of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. At the same time, prohibit the intake of high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Parents should also address the child’s reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits. If the situation is severe, it’s important to take the child to a doctor promptly to find the cause of treatment.
