Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, in the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that my child has a lot of fat on their body, and they eat more than average children. They don’t like to play outside. How should we treat child obesity?
Answer
For children with obvious obesity symptoms, parents should encourage them to engage in more physical activities and avoid picky eating. Arrange swimming and jogging within their tolerance range. Children should consume more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and red bell peppers. They should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts, and it’s important not to let them lie down immediately after eating. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is necessary to take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
