Question
My daughter is 4 years old and weighs significantly more than her peers. She has a large appetite but doesn’t like to eat vegetables. How can I effectively control her childhood obesity problem?
Answer
When a child is suffering from obesity, parents can improve the condition by increasing their child’s physical activity and controlling their diet. Encourage your child to engage in aerobic exercises such as hill climbing and swimming, and increase their intake of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. At the same time, high-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts should be prohibited, and habits of not liking to exercise should be changed. If the situation is severe, seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
