Treatment and diagnosis of pediatric obesity with a preference for vegetables

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 7 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and his appetite is very large. He doesn't like to go out to play usually. I would like to ask: How should the obesity and vegetable aversion in children be treated?

Doctor's answer:

If a child is overweight, you can initially help them alleviate the symptoms by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet. You can arrange activities like swimming or jogging for aerobic exercise. During this period, encourage the child to eat more foods such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid giving the child high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies, and do not let them overeat excessively. Instead, encourage them to move more.
If the child's obesity symptoms are severe while being treated, it is important to take them to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Do not engage in ( does not need translation).
