Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. I’ve noticed that he’s getting fatter and has a very large appetite, and he’s particularly lazy. How should I treat pediatric obesity when the child dislikes vegetables?
Answer
Parents need to control their child’s diet and increase their physical activity, allowing them to engage in exercises beneficial for changing obesity, such as jogging or swimming. Give your child more fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots, and avoid feeding them high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Don’t let them overeat either; encourage more physical activity. During the treatment of obesity, parents should conduct reasonable treatment based on their child’s condition, and if the condition is severe, it is essential to go to the hospital to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment.
