Patient's question:
My son, who is 9 years old, recently, I noticed that his weight is much heavier than other children's. Additionally, he has a very large appetite and likes to lie down after eating. Please advise: How to treat child obesity, especially if they love meat.Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love exercise and be less picky about food. Parents should supervise children to engage in aerobic exercises like jogging and swimming, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach, carrots, and nuts. Foods high in calories like burgers should be avoided. Additionally, parents should help children break bad habits, such as being inactive after eating or being picky about food. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment. Avoid blind treatment.
