Question
I have recently noticed that my daughter is becoming increasingly overweight, and she loves to eat multiple bowls of rice and lie down immediately after meals. How should I effectively manage pediatric obesity and improve her vegetable intake habits?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first increase their child’s physical activity and control their diet. It is recommended to teach the child to swim, as water-based exercises can burn more fat. Encourage the consumption of vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis, and avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods. In daily life, parents should cultivate a habit of loving sports and not being picky in their children. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention and receive treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
