Question
My daughter is currently 5 years old, and over the past year, I’ve noticed that she has been gaining weight, eating large amounts of food, and is particularly lazy. I’m asking how to effectively treat lazy obesity in young children.
Answer
Firstly, you can establish an appropriate amount of exercise and change dietary habits to address the issue of pediatric obesity. Increase the child’s level of physical activity, such as gradually increasing the distance during jogging. In terms of diet, encourage the consumption of healthy foods like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach, while avoiding high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, dried fruits, and biscuits. Additionally, do not let the child go to sleep immediately after eating or lie on the sofa to snack. In the treatment process of obesity, if the situation is severe, medical consultation should be sought.
