Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 1 year old, and this year, I feel that my child is much heavier than other children. Moreover, she seems to eat without control, and she doesn’t want to exercise when asked. How should we effectively treat childhood obesity when the child dislikes exercise?
Answer
If a child has obesity, parents should start with their exercise and diet. Encourage them to do age-appropriate activities such as swimming and jogging, and eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples and kiwis. Do not give them high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Strictly control their diet and prevent overeating. More physical activity is beneficial for changing a child’s obesity. During the treatment period for obesity, if the child’s condition is severe, it is necessary to take them to a regular hospital for treatment.
