Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 2 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that she is overweight and has a strong appetite, but doesn’t like to exercise. How should I treat her obesity and encourage her to eat vegetables?
Answer
For children with significant obesity symptoms, parents should encourage them to engage in more physical activities and avoid picky eating. Parents can have their children participate in sports that help improve obesity symptoms, such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, consuming vegetables like carrots and spinach can aid in obesity management, but high-calorie foods like peanuts and hamburgers should be avoided. It’s not encouraged to overeat and more physical activity should be encouraged. During the obesity treatment process, parents should administer reasonable treatment based on their child’s condition, and if the situation is severe, they should seek further treatment at a hospital immediately.
