Question
Dear parents, my son is already 1 year old. This year, I’ve noticed that my child has been gaining weight, and he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. When I ask him to exercise, he doesn’t want to. How should I treat his obesity effectively if he doesn’t like to eat vegetables?
Answer
To help your child change their obesity symptoms, it’s important to provide them with a reasonable exercise and diet plan. You can arrange for activities like swimming or jogging, which are aerobic exercises. Make sure your child consumes more fruits and vegetables like apples, kiwis, and carrots. Avoid giving your child high-calorie, high-fat foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. In daily life, try not to let your child snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating; these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, be sure to go to the hospital for treatment promptly and do not blindly believe in certain medications.
