Question
A boy, just 8 years old, recently, I noticed that my child has a lot of fat on his body, and he eats more food than most children. He also doesn’t like to exercise. How can I treat child obesity effectively if he loves meat?
Answer
When a child is overweight, parents should provide them with appropriate exercise programs and healthy diet guidance. Parents should supervise their children in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., and increase the intake of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Limit the child’s consumption of fried and high-fat foods to improve their picky eating and reluctance to exercise. In severe cases, parents should consult a doctor promptly and follow the treatment plan provided by the doctor.
