What to do if your child is fat?

Nowadays, living conditions are better, and many parents begin to consider all aspects of their children's nutritional needs when they are still young. They have a life of fish for one meal and meat for the next, and their children lack physical exercise. As a result, many young children now weigh more than some adults and have become little fat kids! This worries parents. Let’s take a look at what to do if a child is fat.

1. Control your intake, increase exercise, and avoid obesity. Children who want to lose weight should develop a habit of exercising every day for at least 20 minutes. Choose aerobic exercise, such as swimming, jogging, skipping rope, etc.

2. Develop good eating habits, avoid overeating, and eat more foods rich in fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, corn, whole grains and foods high in residue. Eat less or no high-calorie, small-volume foods, such as sugar, chocolate, Western fast food, fried foods, animal fat, cream products, etc. The daily calorie intake should be controlled between 800-1200Kcal, but attention should be paid to ensuring adequate supply of protein and amino acids.

Childhood obesity is preventable and curable as long as preventive work is done in the critical period before and after birth. After obesity occurs, attention should be paid to maintaining a healthy and optimistic attitude, learning more about children's diseases, emphasizing the joint participation of children, parents, and society, and establishing a scientific, step-by-step weight loss plan that is acceptable to children. The goal of reducing or alleviating children's obesity can be achieved.

The above introduces some methods to deal with childhood obesity. Children are obese because they are in the growing period and cannot improve their body shape by dieting. However, parents can adjust their children's weight by controlling their diet. Do not let your children eat too much for three meals a day. Try to eat more coarse grains and stay away from greasy food.
