Question
Dear Baby, 3 years old, has started to gain weight easily and increase her appetite in the past year, and doesn’t like to eat vegetables. How should obesity be treated for the best results?
Answer
When children become obese, parents should create a suitable exercise plan and healthy diet for their age. It is recommended to let the child engage in some appropriate sports, such as swimming and jogging, and encourage the consumption of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Try to reduce the intake of high-calorie foods such as cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Additionally, avoid letting the child go to sleep immediately after eating or lying on the sofa to snack. If the child’s condition is severe, seek medical attention promptly and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
