Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, has felt that his child’s weight is significantly heavier than that of other children in recent weeks. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of rice at one meal and is particularly lazy. How should pediatric obesity be treated for the best results?
Answer
For pediatric obesity, you can first establish an exercise regimen and change the child’s diet. Parents should supervise the child in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming. High-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes should be consumed more frequently. It is crucial not to let the child come into contact with high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, and cola. Moreover, it is important to help the child correct bad habits such as not being active after eating or being picky. During the treatment of obesity, if the child’s condition is severe, it is necessary to take the child to a regular hospital for treatment.
