Question
A boy, just turned 6, has recently become increasingly overweight and has a large appetite. He likes to lie down after eating. How can we effectively treat and prevent child obesity and picky eating?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first change the situation through exercise and diet. They can involve the child in sports that help combat obesity, such as jogging or swimming, and encourage the consumption of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. It is crucial to prohibit the consumption of high-calorie foods such as cakes and chestnuts, and help correct some bad habits like being inactive after eating or being picky. If the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms during the treatment of child obesity, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to check for the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
