Question
My daughter is 4 years old, and she seems to be getting fatter lately. She also has a large appetite and doesn’t like to move. How should we treat excessive weight in children effectively?
Answer
For the issue of childhood obesity, parents need to control their child’s diet, increase physical activity, supervise them in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, increase the intake of high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes, prohibit the consumption of high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts, and help their child break bad habits such as not moving after eating or being picky. During the treatment of obesity, if the condition is severe, it is essential to take the child to a regular hospital for treatment.
