Patient's question:
Boy, just 2 years old, recently, it was found that my child has a lot of meat on his body, and he eats more food than most children. Usually, he doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: How can obesity and a meat preference be effectively treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should first try to change their symptoms by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet. Activities like swimming and hill climbing are very effective in treating obesity. During this period, it’s important to let the child eat vegetables that are beneficial for weight loss, such as winter melon and green pea puree. Make sure the child avoids high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, and Coca-Cola. In daily life, don’t let the child eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. If the child’s obesity symptoms are severe during treatment, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly. Don’t blindly trust certain medications.
