Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. Recently, I noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of rice in one meal and doesn't like to exercise. I would like to ask: What should I do if my child is obese and loves meat?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love sports and not being picky about food. Arrange activities like swimming and jogging for the child within their tolerance, and include foods like carrots and spinach, which are helpful in combating obesity. Prohibit the child from eating high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Also, don't let the child always lie down motionless after meals. Remind parents that if their child's condition worsens during treatment, they must take them to the hospital to diagnose the condition and then treat it accordingly.
