Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 7 years old, recently, feels, my child has a lot of meat on her body, also, appetite is very large, likes to lie down after eating, please ask: How to treat picky eating in children with obesity for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control the child's diet and increase their physical activity. They can start by teaching the child to swim, as the resistance of water during swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat consumption. During this period, the child should consume more cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, and similar foods. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from eating high-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts. Additionally, do not let the child go to sleep immediately after eating or lie on the sofa while snacking. If the child's obesity is severe during treatment, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a checkup to determine the cause of the obesity before undergoing targeted treatment.
