Question
Dear Baby, just 7 years old, this year, I’ve noticed that my child is getting fatter and fatter, and they seem to eat without restraint, preferring to lie down after meals. What should be done to effectively treat childhood obesity?
Answer
To address childhood obesity, it’s first recommended to increase the child’s level of physical activity and control their diet to alleviate symptoms. You can start by gradually increasing the amount of exercise during physical activity, such as by running slowly, adding a half lap at a time. Vegetables like carrots and spinach can also be helpful in changing obesity. High-calorie foods like peanuts and hamburgers should be avoided, and it’s also important not to let the child sleep or lie on the sofa while snacking. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it’s essential to seek treatment at a hospital immediately and not to blindly believe in certain medications.
