Question

A boy, just 2 years old this year, I have noticed that my child is much heavier than other children, and he has an extremely large appetite. When I ask him to exercise, he doesn’t want to. How should we treat child obesity effectively?

Answer

If you find that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first give your child a reasonable exercise and healthy diet plan. You can arrange swimming or jogging as aerobic exercises for the child, and encourage them to eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. The child should not eat high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamias, and it is important not to let the child lie down immediately after eating. If the child’s condition is severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, parents should go to the hospital in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
