Question

Dear Baby, she’s just 2 years old, and in the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that my child has been getting fatter and seems to have an insatiable appetite. Usually, she doesn’t like to play and go out. How can we treat overweight children who love meat effectively?

Answer

For pediatric obesity, you can start by setting a certain amount of exercise and changing the child’s diet. Let the child do some activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. Vegetables like carrots and spinach can also help change obesity. Make sure not to let the child come into contact with high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. In daily life, avoid letting the child eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of obesity, parents should carry out reasonable treatment based on the child’s condition. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment.
