Question
Dear parents, my daughter is just 4 years old, and this year, I’ve noticed that she’s getting fatter. Additionally, she has a very large appetite and doesn’t like to exercise. How should we treat pediatric obesity and overweight to achieve the best results?
Answer
To address your child’s obesity, it’s essential to start by encouraging them to love exercise and not be picky about food. For children with obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing hills and swimming are suitable. It’s important to consume more high-fiber vegetables such as winter melon and tomatoes. Foods high in calories like sunflower seed and hamburgers should be avoided. Parents need to correct their child’s unwillingness to exercise and pickiness about food in daily life. If the child’s condition is severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
