Question
A boy, just 1 year old, is significantly heavier than his peers. He eats a lot and doesn’t like to exercise. How should a child who loves meat be treated effectively for obesity?
Answer
When a child shows signs of obesity, parents should alleviate symptoms through exercise and healthy eating. They can arrange for activities like swimming or jogging, increase the intake of high-fiber vegetables such as winter melon and tomatoes, avoid high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies, and change the child’s habit of not liking to exercise to prevent fat accumulation. If the symptoms of pediatric obesity are severe, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly to avoid blind treatment.
