Question
Dear Baby, just 8 years old, this year, I’ve noticed that my child has a lot of fat on their body, and they seem to eat without control. When I ask them to exercise, they’re not willing. What should be the treatment for child obesity?
Answer
If a child is suffering from obesity, parents should start with their exercise and diet. Parents need to supervise the child in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, and provide them with more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. Children should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. In daily life, parents should correct the child’s unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits. During the treatment of obesity, parents should carry out reasonable treatment based on the child’s condition, and if the condition is severe, it is definitely necessary to go to the hospital to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
