Question
Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, in recent weeks, I’ve noticed that my child is much heavier than other children, can eat several bowls of rice at a meal, and doesn’t like to exercise. What should I do to treat obesity in children who love to eat meat?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents can increase the child’s physical activity and control their diet to change the symptoms. For pediatric obesity, engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills, swimming, etc. During this period, encourage the child to eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, while avoiding high-calorie foods like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. At the same time, help the child correct bad habits such as not being active after eating or being picky. If the child’s condition is severe, it is essential to take the child to a regular hospital for treatment.
