Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, I’ve noticed that over the past year, my child is much heavier than other children. Moreover, recently, they have been eating more and more and have become particularly lazy. What should be done to treat child obesity?
Answer
When a child is experiencing obesity, parents should create a workout plan and a healthy diet for them. It’s recommended to engage the child in aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing hills, swimming, and to encourage them to eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. High-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and cola should be strictly avoided. Help the child change their habits of not exercising or overeating. If the situation is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and undergo treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
