Question
My daughter is 8 years old, and I’ve noticed over the past few weeks that she seems to be getting heavier. She also has a very large appetite and usually doesn’t like to eat vegetables. How should I treat her obesity and aversion to vegetables for the best results?
Answer
To address your child’s obesity, you can start by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet to alleviate symptoms. Activities like swimming or climbing hills can be beneficial for obesity symptoms. Encourage them to consume high-fiber vegetables such as winter melon and tomatoes, while avoiding high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Additionally, avoid letting your child snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. If you notice that your child’s condition is severe during treatment, be sure to take them to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
