Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, attending elementary school. This year, it was observed that my child's weight is much higher than other children, and he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal, and he doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should childhood obesity caused by a meat-heavy diet be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control the child's diet and increase their physical activity. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises such as climbing and swimming can be done. During this period, let the child eat more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid giving the child fried chicken, cakes, or other high-fat foods. Do not let the child go to sleep right after eating or lie on the sofa while snacking. It is advised that parents, during the treatment period, if the child's condition worsens, take them to the hospital to identify the condition and receive targeted treatment.
