Question

How should parents treat overweight children who have a fondness for eating meat effectively?

Answer

If a child is overweight, parents should focus on their child’s exercise and diet. They can encourage participation in sports beneficial for improving obesity, such as jogging and swimming, and encourage the consumption of more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Children should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. In daily life, parents should not allow children to snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. If the above methods do not alleviate the child’s obesity symptoms during treatment, parents should seek medical attention promptly to check the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
