Question
My daughter is 5 years old, and this year, I’ve noticed that she has been gaining weight. She can eat several bowls of rice in one meal, and she usually doesn’t like to go out to play. How can we treat child obesity effectively?
Answer
To change a child’s obesity, it starts with encouraging them to love exercise and not be picky about food. Parents can let the child engage in sports that are beneficial for changing obesity, such as jogging or swimming, and encourage them to eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples and kiwis. Avoid giving the child fried chicken or cakes, which are high in fat, and don’t let the child lie down immediately after eating. During the obesity treatment period, parents should carry out reasonable treatment based on the child’s condition. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment.
