Question
How to treat a child’s obesity and love for meat? The girl is currently 1 year old, and recently, it has been noticed that she seems to be getting fatter and has an increasing appetite, preferring to lie down after eating.
Answer
If a child has obesity, parents should first change the symptoms by increasing physical activity and controlling nutrition. They can let the child engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing hills, swimming, etc., and eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. The child should not consume high-calorie foods such as cakes, macadamia nuts, etc. Parents should help the child change the habit of lying down after eating or overeating. During the treatment period, if the child’s condition is severe, it is essential to take the child to the hospital for a diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
