Question
My daughter is 6 years old, and recently I’ve noticed her getting increasingly overweight, with a larger appetite and a tendency to be lazy and lie around. How should I handle the issue of my child’s obesity?
Answer
To tackle the issue of child obesity, it’s crucial to ensure the child enjoys physical activity and is not picky about food. You can gradually increase the intensity of exercise by incorporating activities like jogging, and at the same time, encourage your child to eat healthy foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Additionally, prevent your child from falling asleep immediately after meals or snacking on the couch. If these methods do not improve your child’s obesity symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid worsening the condition.
