Question
My daughter is 7 years old and I recently noticed that she is getting fatter and fatter, and she has a very large appetite. I tell her to exercise, but she doesn’t want to. How can I treat her obesity effectively?
Answer
If a child is suffering from obesity, parents should make changes through exercise and diet. Parents need to supervise their children in engaging in some aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., and eating foods like carrots and spinach can help improve obesity. Avoid letting children consume high-calorie and high-fat foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. Additionally, it is necessary to help children correct bad habits such as not being active after meals and being picky about food. When treating childhood obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take their child to the hospital to check the cause of obesity and receive targeted treatment.
