Question
My 7-year-old daughter is overweight, and I’ve always thought she has a lot of flesh and eats a lot. She doesn’t like exercise. How can child obesity be treated?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents can improve the situation by increasing the child’s physical activity and controlling their diet. Supervise the child in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, and include healthy foods like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach in their meals, avoiding fried foods and high-fat, high-calorie foods. Help the child change habits of not liking to exercise or overeating. Severe symptoms of pediatric obesity should be treated promptly, and it is not advisable to blindly believe in certain medications.
