Question
My son is 1 year old, and I recently noticed that he has a lot of fat on his body, eats a lot, and doesn’t like to exercise. How can child obesity be treated most effectively?
Answer
If you find that your child has pediatric obesity, it is important to first arrange for a reasonable amount of exercise and a healthy diet. Parents should supervise their child’s aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, and increase the intake of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Prohibit the consumption of high-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts. Change the habit of your child not liking to exercise to prevent fat accumulation. If the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms of child obesity, seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and avoid the deterioration of the condition.
