Question
My daughter is 1 year old, and over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that she seems to be getting fatter and has been eating more and more, and she doesn’t like to exercise. How should I treat her obesity when she doesn’t like to move?
Answer
When a child is suffering from obesity, increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet can help improve the condition. You can have your child learn to swim, as swimming in water offers much greater resistance than air resistance during land-based exercises, which can help burn fat more quickly. Additionally, encourage your child to eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, avoid feeding them high-fat foods such as fried chicken and cakes, and prevent overeating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, parents should take their child to the hospital in a timely manner to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
