Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 7 years old. Recently, I've noticed that she's getting fatter and her appetite is very large. I call her to exercise, but she doesn't want to. Please ask: If a child is overweight and loves meat, what is the most effective way to treat it.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should address the situation through exercise and dietary changes. Parents should supervise their child in doing aerobic exercises like jogging and swimming. Additionally, foods such as carrots and spinach are beneficial for weight management. Avoid letting the child eat high-calorie, high-fat foods like burgers, fries, and cookies. Moreover, help the child correct unhealthy habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. During the treatment for childhood obesity, if the condition is severe, it is recommended that parents first take the child to the hospital for a checkup to determine the cause of obesity so that targeted treatment can be administered.
