Question
A 1-year-old boy seems to be getting fatter, with a large appetite but a reluctance to exercise. How should we treat the issue of childhood obesity and picky eating?
Answer
When a child is found to be suffering from childhood obesity, it is first important to arrange their exercise and healthy diet properly. For childhood obesity, it is recommended to engage in more aerobic exercises such as climbing hills, swimming, etc. At the same time, it is suggested that children consume ingredients that help improve obesity, such as winter melon, green beans, etc. Avoid letting children eat high-fat foods like fried chicken, cakes, etc. Assist children in improving their habits of not liking to exercise after eating or overeating. If the symptoms of obesity are severe, it is imperative to seek medical treatment promptly and do not blindly believe in certain medications.
