Question
A girl, currently 9 years old, has recently noticed that her child has been gaining weight increasingly and seems to have no dietary restrictions, as well as being very lazy. How should one treat obesity and laziness in children?
Answer
To improve childhood obesity symptoms, it is essential to arrange exercise and diet appropriately. Encourage your child to engage in age-appropriate activities such as swimming and jogging; increase the intake of fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis; avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamias; and prevent your child from snacking in bed or lying down immediately after eating, as these behaviors can easily lead to fat accumulation. If the above methods do not improve obesity symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
