Question
My daughter is 6 years old this year, and I feel she seems to be getting fatter. At the same time, she has a very large appetite and doesn’t like to exercise. How should we treat her obesity and picky eating effectively?
Answer
Children are experiencing obesity. Parents should alleviate their symptoms through exercise and healthy eating. They can start with aerobic exercises like jogging, climbing hills, swimming, and encourage their children to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Avoid high-calorie foods such as peanuts and hamburgers. Don’t let children overeat, encourage more physical activity. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents notice severe conditions, they should go to the hospital immediately to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
