How to Treat a Child Who is Overweight and Loves Meat

Question

Dear Baby, she is currently 6 years old, and in the past few weeks, I have noticed that my child is much heavier than other children, and her appetite is very large. She usually doesn’t like to play. How should we treat a child who is overweight and loves meat?

Answer

If a child has obesity, parents should start with their child’s exercise and diet. They can begin with aerobic exercises such as jogging, hill climbing, and swimming, and encourage the consumption of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. High-calorie foods like sunflower seed and hamburgers should be avoided. It’s crucial to break the habit of not liking exercise, as it can lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the child’s condition is severe, parents should seek immediate medical attention under a doctor’s guidance.
