Children's obesity can cause social and mental problems as well as health problems

Children's obesity can cause social and mental problems as well as health problems, so active management is needed. In the case of a 5-year-old child, obesity management is very important because it has a great impact on growth and development. Below is general advice for managing obesity in a 5-year-old child.

Maintaining healthy eating habits

Children should get enough nutrients for growth and development. However, it is important to eat the right amount of food so that you don't feel too full. Also, it is recommended to eat healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits, and grains.

Regular Exercise

Children need regular exercise for healthy growth and development. Since most exercise is done through play in infancy, it is recommended to actively participate in indoor playgrounds or outdoor activities.

Limit TV viewing and smartphone usage

We recommend that you limit TV viewing and smartphone usage. Children may experience less actual activity and an increased risk of obesity due to too much TV viewing or smartphone use.

Medical staff guidance and monitoring

Obese children require medical staff guidance and monitoring. It is recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist to establish an appropriate diet and exercise plan and to continue managing obesity.

Family Participation

It is important that all families participate in the management of a child's obesity. It is good for families to maintain healthy eating habits together and increase children's activity.
