Question
Dear Baby, just turned 2 years old, this year, I’ve noticed that my child is much heavier than other children, and they seem to eat without any control. They usually don’t like to play after eating. Please ask: How should pediatric obesity be treated when children don’t like vegetables?
Answer
To change the symptoms of obesity in children, it’s important to provide a reasonable exercise and diet plan. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other activities within the child’s tolerance range. Encourage them to eat more vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, and prohibit them from consuming fried foods and dried fruits, which are high in calories, fat, and heat. It’s also crucial to help children correct bad habits such as not being active after eating or being picky. If the child’s condition is severe during the treatment of pediatric obesity, parents should take them to the hospital immediately for treatment under a doctor’s guidance.
