Question
A 10-year-old boy, now in elementary school, has been noticed to have gained weight increasingly over the past few weeks. Additionally, he seems to eat without self-control and is not fond of physical activity. How should parents treat child obesity and laziness effectively?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents can increase the child’s physical activity and control their diet to change the symptoms. Parents can encourage activities beneficial for changing obesity, such as jogging and swimming. Moreover, foods like carrots and spinach can also help in changing obesity. High-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts should be prohibited, and strict control over the child’s diet is necessary to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for changing the child’s obesity situation. During treatment, parents should always be attentive to the child’s condition, and if the situation is severe, treatment should be guided by a doctor without resorting to blind treatment.
