Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 7 years old and recently I’ve noticed she has gained a lot of weight, along with an increased appetite and a reluctance to exercise. How can we effectively treat childhood obesity when the child doesn’t like to eat vegetables?
Answer
When a child is experiencing obesity, parents can encourage them to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging, hill climbing, and swimming to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, encourage them to consume more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis, while avoiding high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. It’s important to change the child’s attitude towards exercise to prevent fat accumulation. If parents find that the child’s condition is severe during treatment, they should take the child to see a doctor to understand the condition before proceeding with treatment.
