Question
A 9-year-old boy, now in elementary school, has recently gained weight, has a large appetite, and is particularly lazy. How should childhood obesity be treated for better results?
Answer
When children exhibit obesity, it is recommended that parents create an exercise plan and a healthy diet for them. For childhood obesity, engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills, swimming, and encourage the consumption of foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid high-calorie foods like peanuts and hamburgers. Help the child change their habits of not liking to exercise or overeating. If the situation is severe, seek medical attention promptly and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
