Question
Dear readers, my son is 6 years old and has recently become increasingly overweight, with an increased appetite and a preference for lying down after meals. How should one treat a child who is overweight and not interested in exercise?
Answer
To improve a child’s obesity issue, it’s important to arrange for a balanced combination of exercise and diet. Firstly, increase the intensity of the child’s physical activity, such as jogging, gradually increasing the distance covered, and encourage the consumption of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, while avoiding high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. At the same time, help the child correct bad habits, such as being inactive after meals or being picky about food. If the child’s condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention and seek targeted treatment.
