Question
Dear Parent, my 8-year-old daughter has recently shown signs of obesity at home. She eats without control and is lazy. How should pediatric obesity be treated?
Answer
To improve your child’s obesity symptoms, it’s important to arrange exercise and diet properly. Encourage your child to engage in aerobic activities such as jogging, hill climbing, swimming, and consume high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. At the same time, prohibit the intake of high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, dried fruits, and biscuits. Additionally, change your child’s habit of not liking to exercise to prevent fat accumulation. If these methods do not alleviate the obesity symptoms, seek medical attention promptly to rule out other possible causes and avoid the deterioration of the condition.
