Question
My son is 7 years old, and recently, I’ve noticed that he has a lot of fat on his body. He also seems to eat without control and is particularly lazy. How should I treat pediatric obesity?
Answer
To change the symptoms of obesity in your child, it’s important to provide a reasonable schedule of exercise and diet. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills and swimming are recommended, and you should encourage your child to eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. Be sure not to let your child come into contact with high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. Also, don’t let your child just lie down after eating without moving. If the above methods do not alleviate your child’s obesity symptoms during treatment, it is important to go to the hospital in a timely manner to determine the cause and avoid the condition from worsening.
