Question
Dear parents, my son is 9 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that he seems to be getting fatter and is eating more than ever. He’s not interested in exercising. How should we treat child obesity?
Answer
To improve child obesity issues, it’s recommended to encourage more aerobic exercises such as jogging, hill climbing, and swimming, and to consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples and kiwis. Try to avoid giving your child high-calorie snacks such as macadamia nuts and cookies. Additionally, don’t let your child go to sleep immediately after eating or eat on the sofa. If the situation is severe, it’s advisable to take your child to the hospital for a check-up on the cause of obesity and receive targeted treatment.
