Question
My son is 5 years old and has gained weight significantly over the past year. He has a large appetite and doesn’t like to move. How should we treat the symptoms of pediatric obesity and laziness?
Answer
Childhood obesity can be alleviated through increased physical activity and dietary control. It is recommended to gradually increase the intensity of exercise, such as jogging, to build up endurance. At the same time, adjust the diet to include more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis, while limiting high-calorie foods like peanuts and hamburgers. Parents need to help their children improve their exercise and dietary habits, and seek medical attention promptly if the situation is severe.
