How to Treat Child Obesity and Lack of Exercise?

Question

Dear parents, my daughter is currently 1 year old. Recently, I’ve noticed that my child has gained a lot of weight and has a large appetite, but is also very lazy. How should we treat child obesity and a lack of exercise?

Answer

If a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents need to start adjusting the child’s diet and exercise habits. You can arrange swimming, jogging, and other activities within the child’s acceptable range. Encourage the consumption of high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes, and avoid giving high-calorie snacks such as macadamia nuts and cookies. It is essential to help the child break the habit of not being active after exercise or overeating. If the child’s obesity is severe, parents should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
