Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been gaining weight over the past few weeks. He’s also been eating more and more, and he’s reluctant to exercise. How should obesity in children who love eating meat be treated effectively?
Answer
If a child has obesity, parents should address the symptoms by increasing the amount of exercise and controlling their diet. Encourage the child to participate in activities that can help combat obesity, such as jogging and swimming. At the same time, have them consume more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis, and avoid giving them high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Parents should carefully observe and correct the child’s reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits. Throughout the treatment, keep a close eye on the child’s condition, and in severe cases, seek treatment under a doctor’s guidance without resorting to blind methods.
