Question
My daughter is 1 year old, and I recently noticed that she seems to be getting fatter and eating less restrictively. She also doesn’t like to exercise. How can I treat her obesity?
Answer
To address your child’s obesity, it’s important to start by encouraging her to enjoy physical activities and not be picky about food. Have her participate in age-appropriate exercises such as swimming or jogging. During this time, introduce vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity issues, such as winter melon or green beans. Your child should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. Moreover, if your child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help correct this bad habit. Throughout the treatment, parents should always monitor their child’s condition. In severe cases, treatment should be conducted under a doctor’s guidance and avoid any blind treatments.
