Question
My son is 4 years old and recently I’ve noticed that he has a lot of fat on his body. He eats more than most children and enjoys lying down after meals. How should I treat child obesity that loves to eat meat?
Answer
When a child is obese, parents can improve the condition by increasing their child’s physical activity and controlling their diet. You can arrange for your child to engage in aerobic exercises such as swimming or jogging, encourage them to consume high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, and avoid feeding them high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamias. Additionally, do not allow your child to snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits may also lead to fat accumulation. During treatment, if you find that your child’s condition is severe, be sure to take them to the hospital for a check-up and receive targeted treatment.
