Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old. Recently, I've noticed that the child is getting fatter and seems to be eating excessively. When asked to exercise, he is reluctant. I'm wondering: How can pediatric obesity with a lack of exercise be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body becomes obese, parents should create a set of exercise programs and healthy diets for them. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming are beneficial. Vegetables such as carrots and spinach can also help reduce obesity. High-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, nuts, and cookies should be strictly prohibited. Additionally, it is essential to break the habit of children disliking exercise, as this can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of obesity in children, if the condition is severe, it is necessary to take them to a reputable hospital for treatment.
