Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. In recent weeks, I’ve noticed that he seems to be getting fatter, and he also eats more than most children. He likes to lie down after eating. How should I treat pediatric obesity and overweight?
Answer
To address your child’s obesity, it’s important to start by encouraging him to enjoy physical activities and not be picky with food. Activities like swimming and climbing hills can be beneficial for obesity symptoms. Additionally, vegetables like carrots and spinach can help change obesity. Avoid giving your child high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts, cookies, etc. Also, don’t let him sleep or lie on the sofa after eating or while snacking. During the treatment of obesity, if the condition is severe, you should take your child to a regular hospital for treatment.
