Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, I noticed that my child has a lot of meat on his body and has been eating more lately. He also doesn't like to exercise. I would like to know: How can I effectively treat obesity and a lack of vegetable consumption in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child has obesity, parents should address the current situation through exercise and dietary changes. For pediatric obesity, it is recommended to engage in more aerobic activities such as climbing hills and swimming. In terms of diet, children should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc., and avoid high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, and cola. Additionally, if children have a tendency to lie down after eating, parents must help them correct this unhealthy behavior. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should promptly take their child to a formal hospital for targeted treatment, avoiding treatment.
