Question
Dear Baby, she is just 2 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that my child has a lot of fat on her body and eats more than most children. She likes to lie down after eating. How should I treat child obesity effectively when they don’t like to exercise?
Answer
Once a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first change the child’s condition through exercise and diet. Parents can encourage activities beneficial for changing obesity, such as jogging or swimming, and vegetables like carrots and spinach can also help. Avoid giving children high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies, and don’t let them overeat. Encourage more physical activity. If the situation is severe during the treatment of childhood obesity, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of the obesity and receive targeted treatment.
