Question
My son is 5 years old, and I’ve recently noticed that he seems to be getting fatter, and he’s eating more and more, plus he doesn’t like to exercise. How should I treat my child’s obesity and picky eating?
Answer
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, the first step is to provide a reasonable schedule of exercise and a healthy diet. Parents need to supervise their children in engaging in aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, etc. Additionally, eating foods like carrots and spinach can help improve obesity. Avoid letting your child consume high-fat foods such as fried chicken, cakes, etc., and do not let them lie down right after eating. During the treatment of obesity, parents should make reasonable treatments based on their child’s condition. If the condition is severe, it is imperative to take your child to the hospital for further examination and treatment.
