Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. In this year, I noticed that the child is getting fatter and seems to eat without restraint. Also, she doesn't like to exercise. How should the child's obesity and dislike for vegetables be treated?Doctor's answer:
Children may develop obesity. Parents should alleviate the symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. They can start by teaching the child to swim, as water resistance is much greater than air resistance during swimming, leading to faster fat consumption. During this period, the child should consume more foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, and kiwis. Avoid letting the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods, such as hamburgers, fries, or cookies. Additionally, do not let the child sleep or snack while lounging on the sofa. Throughout the treatment, parents should closely monitor the child's condition. If the situation worsens, medical treatment under a doctor's guidance should be sought. Avoid (blind treatment).
