Question
Dear parents, our son is 9 years old and has been gaining weight recently. He’s also become very greedy, but he doesn’t like eating vegetables. How should we treat pediatric obesity effectively when the child doesn’t like vegetables?
Answer
When you notice signs of pediatric obesity in your child, the first step is to establish a reasonable exercise plan and a healthy diet. Encourage your child to participate in aerobic activities such as jogging, hill climbing, and swimming, while also promoting the consumption of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Avoid giving your child high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Additionally, help your child change their habit of not liking to exercise to prevent fat accumulation. If symptoms are severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, it’s important to take your child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment to avoid blind treatment.
