Patient's question:
Boys, just 3 years old, in this year, noticed that there is a lot of meat on my child's body, and his appetite is very large. He doesn't like to go out to play during the day. Please ask: how to diagnose and treat child obesity who doesn't like vegetables.Doctor's answer:
When a child suffers from obesity, parents can increase their physical activity and control their diet to alleviate the symptoms. They can start by teaching the child to swim, as the resistance of water is much greater than that of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat burning. Additionally, parents should encourage the child to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. High-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts and cookies should be avoided. Furthermore, parents should help the child break bad habits, such as being inactive after meals and being picky about food. During obesity treatment, parents should tailor the approach to the child's specific situation. If the condition is severe, it is essential to seek medical attention to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
