Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 2 years old. Lately, I’ve noticed that she weighs significantly more than other children her age, and she has an extremely large appetite. She is also very lazy. How can we effectively treat child obesity?
Answer
When dealing with childhood obesity, it’s important to first establish an appropriate level of physical activity and dietary changes for the child. Parents should supervise the child in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging or swimming. Encourage the child to eat more fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots, and avoid feeding them high-fat foods like fried chicken or cakes. Also, help the child correct bad habits such as being inactive after eating or being picky. If the child’s condition is severe during treatment, it is essential to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
