Question
My daughter is 9 years old and weighs significantly more than other children. She eats without control and prefers to be sedentary. How should I treat her obesity effectively if she loves eating meat?
Answer
The management of childhood obesity involves establishing a moderate exercise regimen and improving dietary habits. It is recommended to increase aerobic exercises such as climbing hills, swimming, and encourage the consumption of fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots, while avoiding high-calorie, high-fat foods such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Guide your child to develop good eating and exercise habits, and pay attention to treating obesity reasonably based on your child’s condition. If the condition is severe, seek medical attention promptly.
