Question
My son is 1 year old, and I recently discovered that he is overweight and reluctant to exercise. How should I handle the situation to achieve the best results?
Answer
When a child shows signs of obesity, parents should establish an exercise plan and healthy diet, allowing the child to participate in aerobic activities such as swimming or jogging, increase intake of fruits rich in vitamin C like apples and kiwis, and avoid high-fat foods such as fried chicken and cakes. Parents should change their child’s aversion to exercise and picky eating habits. If the situation becomes severe during the treatment period, they should seek medical treatment immediately.
