Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 9 years old. In the past few weeks, we have noticed that she seems to be getting fatter, with an increased appetite and a dislike for physical activity. How should we treat her obesity, especially her fondness for meat?
Answer
When a child becomes overweight, parents should create a suitable exercise plan and healthy diet schedule for them. It is recommended to supervise the child in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc. Additionally, consuming foods like carrots and spinach can help improve obesity. It is strictly forbidden for the child to come into contact with high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, and soda. At the same time, assist the child in breaking bad habits such as not being active after eating or being picky. During the treatment period, if the child’s condition is severe, it should be immediately taken to the hospital for a check-up to enable targeted treatment.
