Question
My son is 4 years old and has recently become increasingly overweight. He’s also eating more and more, and he’s particularly lazy. How should we treat childhood obesity when the child doesn’t like to exercise?
Answer
For childhood obesity, you can start by setting a certain amount of exercise and changing the diet. Encourage your child to engage in aerobic activities such as jogging, hill climbing, and swimming. At the same time, encourage your child to consume high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, and prohibit the consumption of fried foods and dried fruits, as these are high in calories and fat. Additionally, don’t let your child lie down immediately after eating. If the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms, seek medical attention promptly to avoid the deterioration of the condition.
