Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 6 years old and has been gaining weight recently. She has a large appetite and is lazy. How can we handle the issue of her not liking to eat vegetables in children with obesity?
Answer
When a child is overweight, parents should establish exercise plans and a healthy diet. For pediatric obesity, engage in aerobic exercises such as climbing and swimming, and increase the intake of high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Avoid giving children high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies, and prevent them from lying down immediately after eating. If the above methods do not alleviate the symptoms of obesity, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
