Question

Baby girl, 6 years old, significantly overweight compared to same age peers, increased appetite, and increasingly lazy. How should we treat the problem of childhood obesity and picky eating?

Answer

When a child shows signs of obesity, parents should establish an exercise plan and healthy diet, such as swimming and hill climbing, which have a good effect on obesity. In terms of food, it is advisable to consume more foods like cucumbers, carrots, and spinach, avoid high-calorie snacks such as macadamia nuts and cookies, avoid overeating, and encourage physical activity. If the symptoms of childhood obesity are severe, it is important to seek medical attention and receive targeted treatment to avoid blind handling.
