Question
My son is 1 year old and has been getting increasingly overweight recently. He also has a very large appetite and is unwilling to exercise. How should I treat my child’s obesity and aversion to vegetables?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first improve the child’s condition through exercise and diet. Parents should supervise the child’s participation in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc., and encourage the consumption of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. High-calorie and high-fat foods such as hamburgers, fries, and biscuits should be avoided. Help the child change habits of not exercising or overeating. During the treatment of obesity, if the situation is severe, it is essential to seek medical attention at a regular hospital.
