Question
Dear parents, our daughter is just over 1 year old and has recently started to gain weight. She has a large appetite and tends to lie down after eating. How should we treat the lazy condition of childhood obesity?
Answer
If you notice signs of pediatric obesity in your child, it’s important to first arrange for a balanced exercise and healthy diet. It is recommended to increase your child’s physical activity, such as extending the distance of jogging. During this period, also have your child consume vegetables that can help improve obesity, such as winter melon and green beans. It is advisable to avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Parents should change their child’s behavior of not wanting to exercise or being picky about food. During the treatment, reasonable treatment should be carried out according to the child’s condition, and if the condition is severe, further diagnosis and treatment should be sought at a hospital.
