Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 9 years old. Recently, in the past few weeks, I've noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's. Also, she seems to eat without restraint, often lying down after meals. I'd like to ask: If a child is overweight and loves meat, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Children who are overweight can first alleviate symptoms by increasing their physical activity and controlling their diet. Parents should supervise their children to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods like spinach and carrots. Children should avoid high-calorie foods such as cakes and macadamia nuts. They should also not be allowed to overeat frequently and should be encouraged to exercise more. During the treatment for obesity, if the child's condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a reputable hospital for treatment.
