Question

A 7-year-old girl’s weight is gradually increasing, and she has poor dietary habits and does not enjoy exercise. How should treatment be carried out for a child who is obese and does not like exercise to achieve good results?

Answer

For the treatment of childhood obesity, parents should focus on adjusting exercise and diet. It is recommended to supervise the child in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., and encourage the consumption of healthy foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis, while avoiding high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes, as well as overeating. If the obesity condition is severe, it is advisable for parents to take their child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of obesity and receive targeted treatment.
