Question
My son is 8 years old, and over this year, I’ve noticed that he seems to be getting fatter. He also eats a lot more recently and is particularly lazy. How should I treat his obesity effectively?
Answer
To change a child’s obesity, it starts with encouraging them to love sports and not be picky about food. Activities like swimming and climbing slopes have great effects on obesity symptoms. Give children more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots, and strictly prohibit high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Also, don’t let the child overeat. Encourage more physical activity. During the treatment of obesity, parents should provide reasonable treatment based on the child’s condition, and if the condition is serious, it is necessary to go to the hospital to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
