Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child has a lot of meat on her body, and she can eat several bowls of rice in one meal. Additionally, she doesn't like to exercise. I would like to ask: How should I treat a child who is obese and dislikes vegetables?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to do more exercise and avoid picky eating. Parents can let their children engage in sports that are beneficial for reducing obesity, such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, foods like carrots and spinach are helpful in combating obesity, while high-calorie foods like nuts and hamburgers should be avoided. It is also important not to let children overeat frequently and to encourage more physical activity. During the treatment for obesity, parents should tailor the treatment to the child's specific condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to visit a hospital to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
