Question
A 3-year-old boy is overweight, loves meat, and doesn’t like to exercise. How should childhood obesity be treated?
Answer
When you discover that your child has childhood obesity, it’s important to provide a reasonable exercise schedule and a healthy diet. Parents should supervise their child’s participation in oxygen-rich activities, such as jogging, swimming, and so on, and encourage them to eat fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples, kiwis, etc. Avoid allowing your child to consume high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, dried fruits, and cookies. Additionally, do not let your child go to sleep immediately after eating or lie on the sofa to snack. If the symptoms of childhood obesity are severe, it is important to take your child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
