Question
My son is 7 years old, and I’ve noticed that he seems to be getting fatter lately. He also eats more than other children and doesn’t like to exercise. How should we treat pediatric obesity and effectively lose weight?
Answer
To improve a child’s obesity situation, it’s important to arrange their exercise and diet appropriately. You can let your child engage in some aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing hills, swimming, etc., and increase the intake of fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples, kiwis, and so on. Avoid giving your child high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Additionally, don’t let your child snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as such habits can lead to fat accumulation. If the pediatric obesity situation is severe, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital to check the cause first, and then treat it specifically.
