Question
Dear Team, My son, who is now 6 years old, has recently gained a lot of weight and seems to eat without control. He usually doesn’t like to eat vegetables. How should we treat a child’s obesity and lack of vegetable intake?
Answer
If a child is obese, parents should control their diet and increase their physical activity. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other exercises within the child’s tolerance level. Vegetables like carrots and spinach can help change obesity. Never let the child come into contact with high-calorie foods such as cakes, potato chips, and cola. Parents should correct the child’s unwillingness to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. If parents find that the child’s condition is severe during treatment, they should definitely take the child to the hospital to investigate the illness and receive targeted treatment.
