How should child obesity and picky eating be treated for the best results?

Patient's question:

My little girl, who is 8 years old, recently, I found, seems to be getting fatter and eating seems to be especially uncontrolled. Usually, she doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: how can obesity and picky eating in children be treated most effectively.

Doctor's answer:

Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love exercise and not being picky about food. Parents should supervise their children to engage in aerobic exercises like jogging and swimming, and encourage them to eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis. Fried foods and dried fruit snacks should be avoided, as they are high in empty calories and fat. Additionally, parents should help their children correct bad habits, such as becoming inactive after meals and being picky eaters. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment rather than.
