Question
My son is 3 years old, and I’ve recently noticed that he seems to be getting fatter. He eats more than most children and likes to lie down after eating. How should one treat pediatric obesity and overweight?
Answer
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, the first step is to provide them with a reasonable exercise schedule and a healthy diet. For pediatric obesity, engage in more aerobic exercises such as hill climbing and swimming, and encourage your child to eat more foods like cucumbers, red bell peppers, and kiwis, while avoiding high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. Parents should correct their child’s unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits. If the child’s condition is severe, seek medical attention immediately and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
