Answer
If you find that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange for reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for your child. Parents should supervise their children in doing aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. High-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes should be eaten more often. Avoid giving children fried chicken and cakes, which are high in fat. In daily life, don’t let children snack on the bed or lie down immediately after eating; these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of obesity, parents should carry out reasonable treatment based on their child’s condition. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital to find out the cause and receive targeted treatment.
