Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 4 years old and has been found to be overweight with poor dietary habits, and she does not like to exercise. What is the most effective way to treat child obesity and overweight?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with childhood obesity, the first step should be to arrange appropriate exercise and a healthy diet. Moderately schedule activities like swimming and jogging, and encourage the child to consume high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Avoid giving the child high-calorie, high-fat foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. Also, do not let the child lie down immediately after eating. If the situation is severe, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital to check the cause of obesity and receive targeted treatment.
