Question
My daughter is just 6 years old, and recently, I’ve noticed that she weighs much more than other children her age. At the same time, her appetite is increasing, and she doesn’t like to exercise. How can we treat obesity in children who don’t like to eat vegetables for better results?
Answer
To help children change the symptoms of obesity, it’s important to provide them with a reasonable exercise and diet plan. Suitable activities for this age group include swimming and jogging, and encourage them to consume high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Children should not consume high-calorie foods like cakes and macadamia nuts. At the same time, help them correct the habit of not moving after eating or overeating. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if symptoms are severe, it’s important to take the child to a doctor promptly for targeted treatment and avoid blind treatment.
