Patient's question:
My daughter is 6 years old. Recently, I've noticed that she is much heavier than other children and seems to eat without restraint. She likes to lie down after meals. I would like to ask: How should pediatric obesity with a preference for avoiding vegetables be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can first involve setting an exercise routine and altering diet for the child. Sports like swimming and hill climbing have a very positive effect on obesity symptoms. Additionally, it's important to encourage the child to consume more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Children should avoid high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. Furthermore, it's necessary to help the child correct unhealthy habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. It's advised that parents take the child to the hospital for diagnosis if their condition worsens during treatment, so that targeted treatment can be administered.
