Question
Dear Parent, my son is 2 years old, and over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that he’s been getting chubbier. He can eat several bowls of rice in one meal, and he doesn’t like to exercise. How should I treat his obesity when he doesn’t like to exercise?
Answer
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, it’s important to first provide a reasonable exercise schedule and a healthy dietary plan. For example, swimming and climbing hills can be effective for obesity symptoms. During this time, encourage your child to eat vegetables like winter melon and green beans, which can help improve obesity, and avoid high-calorie foods like peanuts and hamburgers. Also, prevent your child from eating immediately after sleeping or snacking on the sofa. If the situation is severe, it’s imperative to take your child to a regular hospital for treatment.
