Question
A boy, just turned 3 years old, recently I found that my child’s weight is much heavier than other children, and he seems to eat without control, and is also particularly lazy. How should we treat obesity in children who love to eat meat effectively?
Answer
If a child shows signs of obesity, parents can help alleviate the symptoms by encouraging physical activity and a healthy diet. This includes having the child participate in age-appropriate activities such as swimming or jogging, and feeding them more fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots. It’s important to avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, and cola, and not to let the child lie down immediately after eating. During the treatment process, if parents notice that the child’s condition is severe, they should take the child to the hospital for a check-up in order to receive targeted treatment.
