The social living environment has improved, and people's daily dietary structure has also been improved. They will pay more attention to the nutritional combination and intake of food. But there are still some people who suffer from overweight and obesity. These include the elderly, young people, and may also include children. So, can children lose weight?
Children can lose weight, but the prerequisite is for their physical health, not for blindly comparing themselves with others and pursuing thinness as beauty. Children are still growing physically, and their body shape changes significantly with age. Especially after a child's puberty, there may be slight changes in height and weight due to the influence of body hormones. Parents should not demand their children to lose weight just because they think their children are too fat.
To determine whether a child needs to lose weight, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for examination to see if they are severely overweight and suffering from obesity related diseases. If diagnosed with the need to lose weight, one should also follow the guidance of a doctor and seek scientific methods. It is definitely not advisable to go without food all at once. Suggest adjusting your diet and eating less or no snacks or unhealthy high sugar drinks.
Accompany your child to exercise, persist in exercising to lose weight, and gradually restore normal body shape. Timely encouragement is also very important, communicate more with children, and encourage them to actively lose weight. Being aware of the harm of obesity to one's health, working together from various aspects such as diet, daily routine, sleep, and exercise, gradually adjusting to a healthy lifestyle will be better.
