Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. This year, we noticed that he is getting fatter and seems to eat without restraint. He doesn't want to exercise either. Please ask: How can we treat a child who is obese and loves meat for the best results?Doctor's answer:
To help your child change the symptoms of obesity, you need to arrange reasonable exercise and diet for them. You can start by teaching your child to swim. The resistance of water during swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat consumption. Additionally, encourage your child to eat more high-fiber foods, such as spinach and carrots. It is essential to prohibit your child from consuming high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Parents should correct their child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if parents notice a severe condition, they should promptly take their child to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
