Question
My son is 1 year old. Recently, I’ve noticed that he has gained a lot of weight and is eating more than ever. He’s also very lazy. How should I treat his obesity when he doesn’t like vegetables for the best results?
Answer
When a child becomes overweight, parents should create a set of exercise plans and a healthy diet. Encourage them to engage in age-appropriate activities like swimming and jogging, and consume more vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Avoid high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and cola. If the child prefers to lie down after eating, parents must help correct this bad habit. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
