Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been getting heavier this year. He has a very large appetite and is particularly lazy. How can you effectively treat obesity in children who love meat?
Answer
If a child is obese, parents should control their child’s diet and increase their physical activity. They can start with aerobic exercises like jogging, climbing hills, swimming, etc. In terms of diet, children should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc., and avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, and cola. Also, parents should not let their children lie down immediately after eating. During the treatment of obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate your child’s obesity symptoms, it is important to go to the hospital to find out the cause in a timely manner to avoid the condition from worsening.
