Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 4 years old. Recently, I've noticed that he's becoming increasingly overweight. At the same time, he eats more food than other children and doesn't like to exercise much. Please ask: If a child is obese and loves meat, how should it be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If the child suffers from obesity, parents should start by focusing on his exercise and diet. They can first encourage the child to engage in aerobic exercises, such as jogging, climbing, swimming, etc. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and other healthy foods. It is essential not to let the child consume high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, or Coca-Cola. Additionally, children should not sleep immediately after eating or snack while lying on the sofa. Parents are advised to take the child to the hospital for a proper diagnosis and targeted treatment if the condition worsens during the treatment period.
