Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 2 years old. Over the past year, I’ve noticed that she has gained a lot of weight, seems to eat without restraint, and doesn’t like to exercise. How should pediatric obesity be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
To change the obesity symptoms, it is important to provide the child with reasonable exercise and dietary arrangements. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other sports within the child’s tolerance level. In terms of diet, you can increase vegetables like carrots and spinach that help improve obesity, and avoid high-calorie foods such as peanuts and hamburgers. It is not advisable to let the child eat in bed or lie down after eating, as these bad habits can lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment period, parents should always pay attention to the child’s condition, and in case of serious situations, treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor, and never be treated blindly.
