Question
I have a two-year-old son, and I’ve noticed that he seems to be gaining weight recently. He eats more than other children, and he doesn’t like outdoor activities. How can I help him lose weight?
Answer
First, set up an appropriate exercise program for the child, encouraging them to engage in more aerobic activities such as swimming and hiking, which can help alleviate obesity symptoms. At the same time, adjust the child’s dietary structure by increasing the intake of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, while reducing the consumption of high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Strictly control the child’s diet to avoid overeating. Additionally, regularly take the child for physical examinations at the hospital. If obesity is severe, professional treatment should be conducted under a doctor’s guidance.
