Question

Dear parents, our daughter is currently 6 years old, and we’ve recently noticed that she is overweight at home. She has an unbalanced diet and doesn’t like to exercise. How should we treat an overweight child who loves to eat meat?

Answer

To change a child’s obesity symptoms, it is necessary to provide them with a reasonable exercise and diet plan. For example, activities like swimming and hill climbing are effective for treating obesity. Additionally, encourage the consumption of fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis, while reducing the intake of high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamias. Avoid letting the child overeat and encourage them to be more active. During the treatment period, parents should make reasonable arrangements based on the child’s condition. If the situation is severe, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
