Question

My daughter is 4 years old and overweight. She eats a lot during meals but doesn’t like to move. How should I treat her obesity and overweight?

Answer

When a child exhibits obesity, parents should create a suitable exercise plan and healthy diet for them. For example, swimming and climbing are effective exercises for obesity. At the same time, encourage your child to eat more apples, kiwis, carrots, and avoid high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. Strictly control your child’s diet, avoid overeating, and more physical activity can help improve obesity. If the situation is severe, seek medical attention promptly and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
