Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy, and this year, I’ve noticed that he has been gaining weight increasingly. He also seems to eat without any self-control, and he doesn’t want to exercise when I ask him. How should I treat his obesity if he loves to eat meat?
Answer
To improve your child’s obesity symptoms, it’s important to arrange their exercise and diet appropriately. You can start by teaching your child to swim, as the resistance of water during swimming is much greater than that of air resistance in land-based exercises, which can help burn fat more quickly. Additionally, encourage your child to consume high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, while prohibiting the intake of high-calorie foods such as cakes and candies. Parents should constraint their child’s habits of not exercising properly and being picky about food. In the treatment process for childhood obesity, if the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention for targeted treatment.
