How to treat children with obesity who dislike vegetables

Patient's question:

Female baby, currently 2 years old. In recent weeks, I have noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's. Also, she is getting hungrier recently and doesn't like to play outdoors. I would like to ask: How can I treat obesity and a lack of vegetable intake in my child?

Doctor's answer:

If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first change his symptoms through exercise and control. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming can be done. During this period, let the child eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Nuts and hamburgers, which are high in calories, should not be given to the child. It is also important to change the habit of not liking to exercise, otherwise it is easy to accumulate fat. During the treatment of obesity, parents should provide reasonable treatment according to the child's condition. If the condition is serious, it is necessary to go to the hospital to identify the cause and treat accordingly.
