Specializes in Bariatrics

Physical activity: Lack of physical activity is one of the most common reasons children are overweight. Riding a bike or playing sports is an easy way to change this. Also, make sure to limit calorie-laden drinks and replace chips and sugary treats with lower-calorie snacks like fruit.
