Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 6 years old and this year, I’ve noticed that she seems to be getting fatter. Additionally, she has a very large appetite and doesn’t like to exercise. What should be done to treat childhood obesity?
Answer
When a child’s body shows signs of obesity, parents should establish a set of exercise plans and a healthy diet for their child. Arrange 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 cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes should not be given to the child. Parents should correct their child’s unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment of obesity, parents should carry out reasonable treatment based on the child’s condition. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
