Question
My daughter is 4 years old, and recently her body has become rounder. She eats a lot during meals but doesn’t like to eat. How can I effectively treat my child’s obesity and picky eating problem?
Answer
When a child is suffering from obesity, parents can improve the symptoms by increasing the child’s physical activity and controlling their diet. It is recommended to increase the intensity of exercise during physical activity, such as extending the distance of jogging, and to eat more high-fiber vegetables like winter melon and tomatoes. At the same time, avoid giving the child high-calorie and high-fat foods such as hamburgers, fries, and cookies. Additionally, do not let the child develop a habit of overeating and encourage them to be more active. If the situation is severe, it is advisable for parents to take their child to the hospital to check the cause of obesity before initiating targeted treatment.
