Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. Recently, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating a lot more. He doesn't want to exercise either. Please ask: How can I treat a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables?Doctor's answer:
Once a child develops obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. Parents need to monitor their children to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, they should encourage their children to eat more high-fiber foods, like spinach and carrots. Avoid letting children consume high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Help the child correct habits like being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment for obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a reputable hospital for proper medical care.
