Question
My daughter is 8 years old and recently I’ve noticed she has a significant weight gain. She has a strong appetite but doesn’t like to exercise. I want to know how to treat childhood obesity, especially when she loves to eat meat?
Answer
To improve a child’s obesity symptoms, it’s important to arrange a balanced diet and exercise plan. Encourage activities like swimming or jogging, and promote the consumption of vegetables that aid in weight loss, such as winter melon and green beans. Avoid high-calorie foods like peanuts and hamburgers, discourage overeating, and encourage moderate exercise. During treatment, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition. If the situation is severe, treatment should be conducted under a doctor’s guidance to avoid blind treatment.
