Question
Dear reader, my daughter is just over 2 years old, and I’ve noticed this year that she has been gaining weight rapidly. Additionally, her appetite is greater than that of most children, and she doesn’t like to play normally. How should one treat a child who is overweight and doesn’t like to exercise?
Answer
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, the first step is to arrange a well-balanced exercise and healthy diet for them, engaging in more aerobic activities like climbing hills and swimming. During this time, encourage your child to eat more vegetables that can help improve obesity, such as winter melon and green beans, and avoid giving them high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies. Help your child correct the habit of not moving after eating or overeating. If the symptoms of pediatric obesity are severe during treatment, be sure to seek medical attention promptly and do not blindly believe in certain medications.
