Patient's question:
My boy, he's 3 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he has a lot of meat on his body, and his appetite is also very big. I call him to exercise, but he doesn't want to. Please ask: how to treat obesity and picky eating in children.Doctor's answer:
When a child's body shows obesity, parents should develop a physical exercise plan and a healthy diet for them. They can start by gradually increasing the intensity of the exercise, such as jogging. Instead of completing a full lap at once, they can add more exercise in half-lap increments. Vegetables with high fiber, like winter melon and tomatoes, should be consumed more frequently. Fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods should be avoided. If the child tends to lie down after eating, parents must help them change this unhealthy habit. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, parents should take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment and avoid.
