Question
My son is 6 years old, and this year, I’ve noticed that he weighs significantly more than other children. He also eats more than most kids and doesn’t like to exercise. How should we treat his obesity through diet?
Answer
To help your child change the symptoms of obesity, it’s important to provide a reasonable schedule of exercise and diet. You can arrange for swimming or jogging, such as aerobic exercises, and encourage your child to eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. It’s essential to prohibit your child from consuming high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Moreover, if your child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help correct this undesirable behavior. During the treatment of obesity, if the aforementioned methods do not alleviate your child’s obesity symptoms, it is important to go to the hospital promptly to investigate the cause and avoid the worsening of the condition.
