Question
My daughter just turned 5, and she seems to weigh much more than her peers. She also eats very uncontrollably and tends to lie down after eating without moving. How can I help her treat obesity?
Answer
Treating child obesity requires a combination of dietary control and exercise. It’s recommended to first establish a moderate exercise plan for the child, starting with aerobic activities such as jogging, hill climbing, swimming, etc., and increasing the intake of weight-reducing foods like carrots and spinach. At the same time, avoid giving the child high-fat, high-calorie foods like fried chicken and cakes. During the treatment period, closely monitor the child’s condition. If the situation is severe or control is not ideal, it’s important to take the child to a regular hospital for professional treatment.
