Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in elementary school. Recently, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's, and he also eats more food than average children. He likes to lie down after meals. Please ask: How can effective treatment be provided for a child who is obese and loves meat?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can first involve setting an exercise routine and altering the diet for the child. You can arrange activities like swimming or jogging for aerobic exercise, and encourage the child to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Avoid giving the child fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Additionally, do not let the child lie down and be inactive immediately after eating. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a formal hospital for treatment.
