Question
My son is 7 years old, and I’ve noticed that he has been gaining weight recently. He eats more and is more lazy. What are the best treatment methods for pediatric obesity and overweight?
Answer
For pediatric obesity, it’s important to first establish an appropriate amount of exercise and adjust the diet. It is recommended to increase the child’s physical activity, gradually increasing the intensity of activities like running, consume more vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers, avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts, and do not overeat. Encourage more physical activity. If the symptoms are severe, seek medical attention promptly and do not use medication blindly.
