Question
My son is 2 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that he weighs significantly more than other children his age and has been eating more and more. Usually, he doesn’t like to play outside. How can we treat child obesity when the child doesn’t like to eat vegetables?
Answer
When a child is suffering from obesity, increasing physical activity and controlling their diet can help improve the symptoms. Encourage your child to engage in age-appropriate exercises such as swimming or jogging. Also, promote the consumption of vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green beans. Avoid giving your child high-calorie foods like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Moreover, prevent your child from overeating and encourage them to be more active. If the above methods do not improve the child’s obesity symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid the condition worsening.
