Question
A 9-year-old boy is gradually gaining weight, eating more, and prefers to lie down after eating. How should we treat child obesity and laziness for the best results?
Answer
Treating a child’s obesity requires focusing on cultivating an interest in exercise and a diverse diet. For pediatric obesity, it is recommended to engage in appropriate aerobic exercises such as hill climbing and swimming. At the same time, provide vegetables that can help improve obesity, such as winter melon and green beans, and limit the intake of high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Strictly control the child’s diet to avoid overeating, and moderate exercise is beneficial for improving the child’s obesity. During the treatment of obesity, parents should reasonably handle their child’s condition. If the situation is severe, seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
