Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 2 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that she weighs significantly more than other children her age. She also seems to eat without restraint and doesn’t like to exercise. Question: How should pediatric obesity and indifference be treated?
Answer
To address a child’s obesity, first increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate symptoms. Encourage them to engage in sports that can help combat obesity, such as jogging or swimming. Also, incorporate foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis into their diet, while avoiding high-calorie foods like macadamias and cookies. In daily life, avoid letting the child snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can contribute to fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents find the situation severe, they should seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and seek targeted treatment.
