Question
A 3-year-old boy, this year, I feel that my child has a lot of flesh on him, and he eats more than the average child. He also doesn’t like to exercise. Please ask: How should a child’s obesity and lack of interest in vegetables be treated?
Answer
For pediatric obesity, you can first create an appropriate exercise plan and change the child’s diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills and swimming are recommended. Vegetables like carrots and spinach can also help change obesity. Avoid giving the child fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Moreover, if the child likes to lie down after eating, parents must help correct this bad behavior. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to go to the hospital for treatment promptly and not to blindly believe in certain medications.
