Patient's question:
Boy, just 7 years old, this year, feels, my child has a lot of meat on his body, also, has a very large appetite, and is particularly lazy. Please ask: What should be done if a child is obese and does not like vegetables?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control the child's diet and increase their physical activity. Aerobic exercises like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. Vegetables rich in fiber, such as winter melon and tomatoes, should be consumed more frequently. Frying foods and dried fruits should be prohibited for the child, as these are high in empty calories and fat. Strictly control the child's diet to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial in addressing childhood obesity. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition is severe, they should promptly take the child to the hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
