Question
My child is an 8-year-old boy, and he seems to be getting fatter recently. He has a large appetite and doesn’t like to eat vegetables. How should I handle the issue of childhood obesity?
Answer
Childhood obesity can be addressed by increasing physical activity and controlling dietary intake. For instance, activities like swimming and climbing hills can be effective for obesity. It’s important to include more vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers, and to avoid high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola, as well as binge eating. During treatment, if the situation is severe, you should take your child to a professional hospital for medical attention.
