Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing weight gain and irregular eating habits, while also lacking the willingness to exercise. How should one effectively treat this type of childhood obesity?
Answer
For childhood obesity, parents should guide their children to engage in moderate aerobic exercises such as swimming or jogging, and encourage the intake of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. It is advisable to avoid feeding children high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Parents should correct their children’s habits of not wanting to exercise and being picky about food in daily life. During treatment, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical guidance when necessary, avoiding blind treatment.
