Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 9 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child has a lot of meat on her body, and she has been eating more lately while also being less active. Please ask: How to treat pediatric obesity and a lack of interest in vegetables?Doctor's answer:
If a child is overweight, you can start by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet to alleviate the symptoms. You can arrange aerobic exercises for the child, such as swimming or jogging, and encourage them to eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples and kiwis. Make sure the child avoids high-calorie foods, such as cakes, chips, and cola. In daily life, avoid letting the child eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly go to the hospital to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment.
