Question
A boy, just 2 years old this year, I have noticed that my child has a lot of fat on his body, and he eats more food than other children. He is also particularly lazy. How should I treat child obesity when they don’t like eating vegetables?
Answer
To change the symptoms of obesity in children, it is necessary to provide them with reasonable exercise and dietary arrangements. For children with obesity, you can engage them in aerobic exercises such as climbing hills, swimming, etc., and encourage them to eat more vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach, while avoiding high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and cola. In daily life, do not let your child eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these habits can lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment period, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition, and in severe cases, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, never treating blindly.
