Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. Recently, it has been observed that my child has gained a lot of weight and has been eating more lately. He doesn't usually enjoy playing outdoors. Please ask: How should obesity caused by a meat-eating diet be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
When a child's body shows signs of obesity, parents should develop an exercise plan and a healthy diet for them. Swimming and uphill climbing, for example, are very effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. Children should be encouraged to eat more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots, while avoiding high-calorie foods such as biscuits, macadamia nuts, and small cakes. Moreover, it is essential to break the child's habit of disliking exercise, as it can easily lead to fat accumulation. During the treatment of obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate their symptoms, parents should promptly take them to the hospital to identify the underlying cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
