Boy, 8 years old this year, noticed that my child's weight is much heavier than other children. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal, and he doesn't want to exercise when asked. Please ask: How to treat pediatric obesity who doesn't like vegetables.Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, the symptoms can be alleviated by increasing physical activity and controlling their diet. They can start by engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing hills, or swimming. Encourage the child to eat more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots, while avoiding high-calorie snacks such as macadamia nuts and cookies. Do not let the child sleep or loung on the couch immediately after eating snacks. During the treatment for obesity, if the child's symptoms do not improve with the above methods, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
