Question
A boy, just turned 4, this year I’ve noticed that my child is overweight and has a large appetite, and also behaves somewhat lazily. How should one treat childhood obesity with a preference for meat?
Answer
If you find that your child is suffering from childhood obesity, the first step is to arrange their physical activity and healthy diet properly. For example, swimming and climbing hills can be beneficial for obesity symptoms. It’s advisable to give your child more fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots, and avoid feeding them high-calorie and high-fat foods such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Also, don’t let your child fall asleep immediately after eating or snack on the sofa. During the treatment of obesity, parents should handle the situation reasonably based on the child’s condition. If the condition is severe, it is imperative to take your child to the hospital to find the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
