Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, recently observed that my child has been getting fatter in the past few weeks, and he is also becoming hungrier and less active. Please ask: How should picky eating due to obesity be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body shows signs of obesity, parents should create a physical exercise plan and a healthy diet for their child. For pediatric obesity, it is advisable to engage in more aerobic activities such as climbing hills or swimming. Additionally, children should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Avoid giving them high-calorie snacks such as macadamia nuts or cookies. In daily life, children should not be allowed to eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these poor habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should promptly take their child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment and avoid treatment.
