Question
Dear parents, our daughter just turned 1, and recently we’ve noticed that she has gained weight, has an increased appetite, and lacks exercise. How should we treat pediatric obesity and overweight effectively?
Answer
For children with obesity, parents should control their diet and increase physical activity. Encourage participation in activities beneficial for improving obesity, such as jogging and swimming. Additionally, vegetables like carrots and spinach can help improve obesity, while high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes should be avoided. Strictly control the child’s diet to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for improving the child’s obesity situation. If parents find that the child’s condition is severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, they should seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
