Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Recently, I’ve noticed that he has a lot of fat on his body and seems particularly undisciplined in his eating habits. He likes to lie down after eating. How should I treat my child’s obesity effectively if he loves eating meat?
Answer
To address a child’s obesity, it’s first recommended to increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate symptoms. Parents can encourage activities beneficial for changing obesity, such as jogging or swimming, and ensure the child consumes more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. It’s important not to give the child high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies. In daily life, avoid allowing the child to eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During treatment for obesity, if the child’s condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
