Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 7 years old, and over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that she has been gaining weight. She has a very large appetite and is unwilling to exercise. How should we treat a child’s obesity who loves eating meat?
Answer
When a child becomes overweight, parents should create a set of exercise plans and a healthy diet for their child. Encourage them to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. Also, ensure they consume more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, and avoid giving them fried chicken and cakes, which are high in fat. Don’t let them fall asleep immediately after eating or snack on the couch. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
