Patient's question:
My male child, who is 2 years old, has recently been observed to be much heavier than other children, and he has been eating more and more lately. He usually doesn't like to play outside. I would like to ask: How can I treat child obesity and a lack of interest in vegetables?Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their child's physical activity and control their diet to improve the condition. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging. During this period, the child should eat vegetables that are beneficial for reducing obesity, such as winter melon and green pea pudding. Foods high in calories, like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should be avoided. Also, do not allow the child to binge eat frequently; instead, encourage more physical activity. If the above methods do not alleviate the child's obesity symptoms during treatment, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
