Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 4 years old, recently for the past few weeks, noticed that her body has become more chubby, and she's also getting hungrier lately. She's also become particularly lazy. Question: How to treat picky eating and childhood obesity effectively.Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, the symptoms can be alleviated by increasing physical activity and controlling their diet. First, the child can engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing, or swimming. Additionally, they should eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Foods high in calories, such as cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes, should be avoided. It is also important not to let the child go to sleep or sit on the sofa right after eating snacks.During the treatment for childhood obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition worsens significantly, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
