Question
My son is 7 years old, and he seems to be getting fatter and eating more. He also loves to lie around and not move. How can I help him deal with the issue of childhood obesity and his love for meat?
Answer
When a child has obesity issues, parents should plan a set of exercise programs and a healthy diet, such as arranging swimming or jogging for aerobic exercise, and encouraging them to eat more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes. Avoid giving children high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. Help the child change their sedentary or overeating habits. If the child’s condition is severe, they should seek medical attention immediately and receive treatment for childhood obesity under a doctor’s guidance.
