Question
My daughter is 7 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that she’s getting fatter and her appetite is very large. She usually doesn’t like to play and go out. How should I treat her childhood obesity effectively if she doesn’t like to exercise?
Answer
If the child has obesity, parents should start with their child’s exercise and diet, arranging swimming, jogging, and other sports within the child’s tolerance range. Vegetables like carrots and spinach can help change obesity, while high-calorie foods like peanuts and hamburgers should not be given to the child. Moreover, if the child likes to lie down after eating, parents must help correct this bad behavior. 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 in a timely manner to find out the cause and avoid the condition from worsening.
