Question
A 6-year-old girl has recently become increasingly overweight, with a large appetite and a preference for lying down. How can child obesity be treated through diet?
Answer
For children who show clear symptoms of obesity, parents can encourage them to be more active and not be picky about food. Have them participate in sports that can help improve obesity, such as jogging and swimming. Additionally, let them consume more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, and absolutely avoid exposing them to high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. Help them change their habits of eating to the point of being inactive or overeating, and remind parents to take their child to the hospital for further examination and treatment if the situation is severe.
