Question
My son is 9 years old and he’s getting fatter, eats a lot, and doesn’t like to exercise. How should pediatric obesity and lazy syndrome be treated?
Answer
When you discover that a child has obesity and lazy syndrome, first provide appropriate exercise and healthy diet arrangements. For obesity and lazy syndrome, engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills, swimming, etc., and encourage the consumption of fruits and vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach. Avoid high-fat foods like fried chicken and cakes. Additionally, don’t let the child go to sleep immediately after eating or lie on the sofa to eat snacks. If the situation is severe, take the child to a doctor promptly to understand the condition and receive corresponding treatment.
