Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 7 years old. This year, I’ve noticed that my child is much heavier than other children. Additionally, she has a very large appetite and doesn’t like to exercise. How should we treat child obesity by diet?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents can increase the child’s physical activity and control their diet to change the symptoms. You can arrange swimming or jogging as aerobic exercises for the child. During this time, let the child eat some vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon, green beans, etc. Be sure not to let the child come into contact with high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. Moreover, don’t let the child lie down immediately after eating. Parents should always pay attention to the child’s condition during treatment. In severe cases, treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, and do not treat blindly.
