Question
My daughter is 1 year old and recently I’ve noticed that she has a lot of fat, eats a lot, and doesn’t like to exercise. How should I treat pediatric obesity when she dislikes eating vegetables?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents can increase their physical activity and control their diet to improve symptoms. It’s recommended to gradually increase the amount of exercise, such as jogging, and slowly increase the number of laps. At the same time, encourage the child to consume vegetables beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green beans, and avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamias. Strictly control the child’s diet to prevent overeating, and more physical activity is beneficial for improving obesity. If the child’s obesity is severe, seek medical treatment promptly and avoid using medication blindly.
