How Should Pediatric Obesity and Picky Eating Be Treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, 1 year old. Recently, I noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter and eating a lot more. He is also particularly lazy. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric obesity and picky eating?

Doctor's answer:

Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and not be picky about food. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises for the child within their capacity. During this period, let the child eat some vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon, green pea yellow, etc. Don't let the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Also, don't let the child always lie down after eating and be inactive. If the child's obesity symptoms are severe during the treatment of childhood obesity, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly. Don't blindly believe in certain medications.
