Question
My son is 2 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that he seems to be getting fatter, and he eats more than most children. He also doesn’t like to exercise. How should I treat his obesity effectively?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should change their current situation through exercise and diet. They can start by increasing the intensity of the child’s physical activities, such as jogging, gradually adding more distance each time. Encourage the child to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, and strictly prohibit high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Avoid overeating and encourage more physical activity. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
