Question

Dear Baby, just turned 9 years old, in recent weeks I’ve noticed that my child has been gaining weight increasingly and loves to eat a lot of rice, and then lie down after eating. How should we effectively treat child obesity and picky eating?

Answer

To improve a child’s obesity symptoms, it’s important to arrange exercise and diet properly. Encourage your child to engage in physical activities beneficial for obesity improvement, such as jogging, swimming, etc. Also, encourage them to eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, and avoid giving high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts, cookies, etc. Help your child correct the habit of not moving or overeating after meals. When treating pediatric obesity, if symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a regular hospital for targeted treatment to avoid blind treatment.
