Question
A 7-year-old boy, recently, I’ve noticed that he seems to be getting fatter and fatter, and he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal, and he likes to lie down after eating. How should we treat the problem of overweight children who love eating meat?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents need to change their current situation through exercise and diet, such as swimming and climbing slopes, which are very effective for obesity symptoms. Additionally, they should eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. Children should not consume high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts, and they should not always lie down after eating without moving. During the treatment period, parents need to monitor their child’s condition at all times. For severe cases, treatment should be carried out under a doctor’s guidance, and avoid blind treatment.
