Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 7 years old and it seems like she is getting fatter and fatter. She has a very large appetite and usually doesn’t like eating vegetables. How should we treat a child’s obesity when they don’t like eating vegetables?
Answer
For children with obvious obesity symptoms, parents can encourage them to engage in more physical activities, avoid picky eating, and supervise them in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc. During this time, let the child consume vegetables that help improve obesity, such as winter melon and green beans, and avoid high-calorie, high-fat foods like hamburgers, French fries, and cookies. Also, don’t let the child get into the habit of overeating. More physical activity can help treat obesity issues, but if the situation is severe, it is necessary to consult a doctor for the child.
