Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 and a half years old, 125 cm tall, and weighs 56 jin. Is she too fat? If she is, what should we do?Doctor's answer:
Your daughter is slightly overweight. She is 6 and a half years old, weighs 22 kilograms, and her height of about 119 centimeters is ideal. Fat can be managed through exercise therapy and dietary control methods. Dietary control is the most important aspect, as exercise helps convert fat in specific body parts into heat energy through bodily fluids and excretes it through sweat. Exercise therapy generally involves aerobic exercises, which typically require about half an hour or more, such as dancing, jogging, playing jianqiu (Chinese shuttlecock), skipping rope, or slow running.
