Answer
To address the issue of child obesity, it is recommended to alleviate symptoms by increasing physical activity and controlling the diet. It’s suggested to gradually increase the distance of your child’s running exercises. Encourage the consumption of high-fiber vegetables such as winter melon and tomatoes, while avoiding high-calorie and high-fat foods like hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Also, prevent your child from going to sleep immediately after eating or snacking on the couch. If the child’s obesity problem is severe, seek medical attention promptly and receive professional treatment without resorting to unscientific methods.
