Question
The boy is just 2 years old, and recently, it has been noticed that he is getting chubbier, and he eats more than average children. He likes to lie down after eating. How should a child who is overweight and doesn’t like to eat vegetables be treated?
Answer
If a child is suffering from obesity, parents should start by focusing on the child’s exercise and diet. They can arrange for the child to participate in aerobic exercises such as swimming or jogging, while also providing vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green peas. It is not recommended to give the child high-calorie foods like biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Help the child correct bad habits such as not being active after eating or being picky. If the situation is severe, parents should take the child to the hospital in a timely manner and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
