Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 5 years old, and this year, I have noticed that my child has a lot of fat on her body, and she also eats more than most children. When I ask her to exercise, she is unwilling. How should we treat obesity in children who love to eat meat?
Answer
When a child is suffering from obesity, parents can increase their child’s physical activity and control their diet to change the symptoms. Initially, you can encourage your child to increase their exercise intensity, such as by gradually increasing the distance of a jog, starting with half a lap at a time. During this period, let your child eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid giving your child high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. Also, don’t let your child overeat constantly and encourage more physical activity. During the treatment of obesity, if the child’s condition is severe, it is important to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
