Question
My son is 1 year old, and in the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that he has gained a lot of weight and is eating more and more. He enjoys lying down after meals. What is the best way to treat a child who is overweight and doesn’t like to exercise?
Answer
Once a child develops obesity, parents should first change the child’s condition through exercise and diet. They can engage the child in physical activities that are beneficial for combating obesity, such as jogging and swimming, while providing foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, etc., and prohibiting fried foods and dried fruits. Additionally, children should not be allowed to sleep after eating or snack on the couch. If the child’s obesity is severe, parents should take them to a regular hospital for targeted treatment to avoid blind treatment.
