Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old. This year, I’ve noticed that she seems to be getting fatter and fatter, and she eats more than most children. She likes to lie down after eating. How should we treat child obesity and overweight?
Answer
If you find that your child has pediatric obesity, first arrange a reasonable amount of exercise and a healthy diet for them, increase their physical activity like jogging, gradually increasing the amount of exercise, and at the same time, give them some vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon, green beans, etc. Prohibit your child from eating fried foods and nuts, as these foods are high in calories and fat. Help your child correct bad habits such as not moving after eating or being picky about food. If the situation is severe during treatment, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a diagnosis and seek treatment.
