Question
Dear Baby, she is just 7 years old. This year, I’ve noticed that my child seems to have a lot of fat on her body, and she also eats very uncontrollably. She is also particularly lazy. I would like to ask: How can pediatric obesity be treated effectively?
Answer
If a child has obesity, parents should treat it through exercise and changing dietary habits. Encourage the child to participate in age-appropriate sports such as swimming and jogging. Provide more of the following foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots, and avoid giving high-calorie, high-fat foods such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Also, do not let the child go to sleep immediately after eating or lie on the sofa while snacking. When symptoms of pediatric obesity are severe, it is important to take the child to a professional hospital for targeted treatment to avoid blind treatment.
