Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 8 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that she’s been gaining weight and has a growing appetite. She’s reluctant to exercise. How can we treat obesity effectively if she doesn’t like vegetables?
Answer
If a child shows signs of obesity, parents should alleviate symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet, such as swimming and climbing hills, which are beneficial for obesity. During this period, encourage your child to eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis, and avoid high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Also, don’t let your child overeat and increase their physical activity. During treatment, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition. For severe cases, treatment should be guided by a doctor and should not be handled blindly.
