Question
Dear Parent, our daughter is 2 years old and has been gaining weight rapidly over the past few weeks. Her diet seems to be out of control, and she is unwilling to exercise. How should we treat the problem of children’s obesity who love meat?
Answer
For children with obesity, parents need to control their diet and increase physical activity. It is recommended to engage in aerobic exercises such as hill climbing and swimming, while encouraging children to consume high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, and to avoid fried foods or high-fat products. Parents should improve their children’s unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits. If the symptoms of obesity cannot be alleviated, it is advisable to seek medical attention early to prevent the condition from worsening.
