Question

My daughter is currently 2 years old and has recently been found to be overweight. She eats more than average children and does not like to exercise. How can we effectively treat this condition?

Answer

When a child is obese, parents need to control their child’s diet and increase their physical activity. Encourage your child to choose age-appropriate exercises such as swimming or jogging, and ensure they consume more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid fried foods and high-fat dried fruits. Also, help your child break the habit of lying down immediately after eating. If the situation is severe, seek medical attention promptly and follow the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
