Question
My son is 6 years old, and over the past year, I’ve noticed that he has been gaining weight and eating even more, often lying down after meals. How can I effectively treat his obesity if he loves meat?
Answer
For parents with children showing clear symptoms of obesity, it’s recommended to encourage more physical activity and avoid picky eating. Activities like swimming and hill climbing can be particularly effective for obesity. Children should consume more fruits like apples and kiwis, carrots, etc., and avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. At the same time, help correct bad habits such as lying down after eating or being picky. If the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms during the treatment of the child’s obesity, it is advisable to go to the hospital to find out the cause in a timely manner to prevent the condition from worsening.
