Treatment Methods for Children with Obesity and Picky Eating

Question

What should be the treatment approach for children with obesity and picky eating?

Answer

For children with obesity, increasing physical activity and controlling diet can help alleviate symptoms. They can start with aerobic exercises such as jogging, climbing hills, and swimming, and should eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. High-calorie foods like cookies, macadamia nuts, and small cakes should be avoided. Additionally, children should not be allowed to lie down immediately after eating. During the treatment period, parents should always monitor their child’s condition. For severe cases, treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid blind treatment.
