Question
Dear Baby, currently 3 years old, this year, I’ve noticed that my child’s weight is significantly heavier than other children, and they seem to eat without restraint. When asked to exercise, they’re unwilling. How should we treat childhood obesity when the child loves meat?
Answer
To change the symptoms of obesity in a child, it’s important to provide a reasonable exercise and diet plan. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child’s tolerance level. Encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. Parents should correct the child’s unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. If the situation is severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital to check the cause of the obesity and receive targeted treatment.
