Question
My child is a six-year-old boy. I recently noticed that he seems to be getting fatter, and he has a large appetite, often lying down after eating. How should I treat his obesity and picky eating problems?
Answer
For a child’s obesity, it is advisable to first increase physical activity and control diet, such as having the child participate in swimming, jogging, and other sports, and to eat more fruits and vegetables while avoiding high-calorie, high-fat foods. At the same time, help the child change habits such as not liking to be active or overeating. If the child’s obesity is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and receive targeted treatment to avoid blind treatment.
