Question

Dear team, my son is 5 years old. Recently, I’ve noticed that he weighs significantly more than other children his age. Moreover, he has been eating more and more, and he’s reluctant to exercise. How should we treat childhood obesity in a lazy child?

Answer

If a child is suffering from obesity, parents should focus on their child’s exercise and diet. Activities like swimming and climbing slopes are beneficial for obesity symptoms, and foods like carrots and spinach can help change obesity. Be sure not to let your child come into contact with high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, and cola. Strictly control your child’s diet and avoid excessive eating. More physical activity is beneficial for improving a child’s obesity situation. If the symptoms of childhood obesity are severe, please take your child to a regular hospital for professional treatment and do not treat it blindly.
