Patient's question:
Girl baby, just 1 year old. Recently, for the past few weeks, I've noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating a very large amount. She also doesn't like to exercise. I would like to ask: If my child is obese and doesn't like vegetables, what should I do to treat it well?Doctor's answer:
Once a child is diagnosed with obesity, parents should first address the situation through exercise and diet. They can start by gradually increasing the intensity of physical activities for the child, such as jogging. For example, they can gradually add half a lap at a time to their regular exercise routine. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and other nutritious foods. Foods high in calories, such as nuts and hamburgers, should be avoided. It’s important to help the child break the habit of being inactive after meals or overeating. During the treatment for obesity, if the child’s condition is severe, it is essential to take them to a reputable hospital for proper medical treatment.
