Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. This year, I’ve noticed that he has been getting fatter and fatter, and he’s also eating more and more, and he doesn’t like to exercise. How can pediatric obesity be treated effectively?
Answer
To address the issue of body obesity in children, it’s first recommended to increase their physical activity levels and control their diet to alleviate symptoms. Arrange for activities such as swimming and jogging within a manageable range for the child, and encourage them to eat more fruits like apples, kiwis, and carrots. However, they should avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts, and should not overeat frequently. Encourage them to be more active. If the situation becomes severe during treatment, it is imperative to take the child to the hospital for a check-up.
