Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 6 years old, and we feel that she is getting fatter at home. Her appetite seems limitless, and she is also very lazy. How should we treat childhood obesity effectively?
Answer
If you find that your child has childhood obesity, it is first important to arrange their physical activity and healthy diet properly. Activities like swimming and climbing hills can have a good effect on obesity. Eating foods like carrots and spinach can help improve the condition. It is necessary to prohibit the consumption of high-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts. Parents need to change their child’s habits of not wanting to exercise or being picky about food. If the above methods do not alleviate the child’s obesity symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to check the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
