Patient's question:
Daughter, just 4 years old, recently in the past few weeks, noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter and can eat several bowls of food in one meal. She likes to lie down after finishing her meal. Please ask: How should a child with obesity and a lack of exercise be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To address childhood obesity, it's important to start by encouraging the child to enjoy exercise and avoid being picky about food. You can begin by having them engage in aerobic activities such as jogging, climbing, and swimming. During this period, ensure they consume vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and green pea paste. Strictly prohibit the child from eating high-calorie, high-fat foods like cakes, nuts, and cookies. Rigorously control their diet to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing childhood obesity. Throughout the treatment, parents should closely monitor the child's condition. In severe cases, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid.
