Question
Dear Baby, currently 6 years old, this year, I’ve noticed that my child is much heavier than other children, and they can eat several bowls of rice in one meal, and they like to lie down after eating. How should I treat a child’s obesity and lack of exercise effectively?
Answer
Improving a child’s obesity situation requires cultivating exercise habits and improving dietary habits. For pediatric obesity, it is recommended to engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills and swimming. Additionally, include vegetables beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green beans, in the diet and avoid giving children high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Furthermore, help the child correct some bad habits, such as not wanting to move after meals or being picky. In the process of treating pediatric obesity, if parents find the situation serious, they should seek medical attention promptly and treat the cause accordingly.
