Question
Dear Baby, currently 3 years old, recently, I’ve noticed that my child has a lot of fat on their body, and they have an enormous appetite. When I ask them to exercise, they’re unwilling. How should I treat child obesity if they don’t like to eat vegetables?
Answer
If a child is obese, parents should control their diet and increase their physical activity. Parents can let their children do exercises that are beneficial for changing obesity, such as jogging or swimming. They should encourage their children to eat more fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots. Children should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Also, parents should not let their children overeat. Encourage them to be more active. During the treatment of obesity, parents should carry out reasonable treatment based on their child’s condition. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment.
