Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating more food than other children. She is also very lazy. Could you please advise on how to treat child obesity, especially when they love meat?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting appropriate exercise levels and adjusting the diet for the child. For childhood obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing hills and swimming are beneficial. Additionally, children should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach, carrots, etc. High-calorie and high-fat foods should be avoided, including cakes, nuts, and cookies. Parents should modify their child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment of childhood obesity, if parents notice a severe condition, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
