Question
My daughter is 2 years old, and recently, I’ve noticed that she has been getting fatter and has a very large appetite. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn’t want to. How can we effectively treat pediatric obesity when children don’t like vegetables?
Answer
For pediatric obesity, you can start by setting up exercise routines and changing the diet. Activities like swimming and climbing hills are very effective for obesity symptoms. Diet-wise, encourage your child to eat more vegetables such as cucumbers, carrots, and spinach, and make sure they don’t come into contact with high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. Also, don’t let your child lie down immediately after eating; during the treatment of obesity, if the above methods do not alleviate your child’s obesity symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
