Question
My son is 1 year old and I recently noticed that he has gained a lot of weight. He is also increasingly greedy for food and doesn’t like to move around. How can I effectively treat his obesity and his aversion to vegetables?
Answer
If a child is suffering from obesity, parents should change the current situation through exercise and diet. For pediatric obesity, it is recommended to engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills or swimming. In terms of diet, children should eat more vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach, and absolutely avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes, chips, and cola. Moreover, if the child tends to lie down after eating, parents should help correct this bad habit. When treating pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a professional hospital for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
