Question
Dear Baby, just turned 6 years old, observed that the child is getting fatter and their appetite is increasing, and they like to lie down after eating. How should picky eating in children with obesity be treated to achieve the best results?
Answer
If a child is obese, parents should improve the situation through exercise and dietary adjustments. For children with obesity, it is important to engage in aerobic exercises such as climbing hills and swimming, increase the intake of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots, and at the same time, reduce the intake of high-calorie foods such as peanuts and hamburgers. It is crucial to cultivate a habit of enjoying exercise in children, as this can prevent the accumulation of fat. Severe symptoms of childhood obesity should be treated promptly by medical professionals, and it is important not to blindly believe in certain medications.
