Question
My child is an 8-year-old boy, and I’ve recently noticed that he seems to be getting fatter. He also eats without control and likes to lie down after eating. How can I effectively treat a child who is overweight and doesn’t like to exercise?
Answer
When a child is suffering from obesity, parents can change the symptoms by increasing the child’s level of physical activity and controlling their diet. You can encourage the child to gradually increase the distance they run during jogging and consume more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes. At the same time, it’s important to prohibit the child from eating fried foods and dried fruits, as these are high in calories and fat content. Additionally, it’s crucial to change the child’s habit of not liking to exercise to prevent fat accumulation. If the child’s obesity is severe, it’s important to seek medical treatment promptly and not blindly trust certain medications.
