Past treatment and outcomes: No treatment. Assistance sought: I would like to know which foods should be avoided.
Answer
A 9-year-old girl weighing 84 jin is already significantly overweight. In her daily diet, it is essential to limit the intake of snacks, as they contain numerous chemical substances that, when consumed in excess, may lead to obesity and decreased appetite. It is recommended to feed her more fresh vegetables and fruits and to avoid eating fast-growing chicken, pork, or farmed seafood, as these may contain excessive hormones that could affect a child’s health in the long term or with excessive consumption.
