Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 9 years old, and over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that she seems to be getting heavier. She can eat several bowls of rice in one meal and usually doesn’t like to eat anything. How should we treat obesity in children who love eating meat?
Answer
When a child becomes overweight, parents should establish a workout plan and healthy diet for them. Parents need to supervise their children in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., and consume vegetables like carrots and spinach that can help change obesity. It is absolutely necessary to keep children away from high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, and cola. At the same time, parents should also assist their children in correcting bad habits such as not being active after eating or being picky about food. Parents are reminded that if they find the child’s condition severe, they should immediately take the child to the hospital for examination and treatment.
