Patient's question:
Boy, just 3 years old. This year, I noticed that my child has a lot of meat on his body. Also, he's getting hungrier recently and likes to lie down after meals. Please ask: How should obesity and vegetable avoidance in children be treated appropriately?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can be addressed by first setting an exercise routine and modifying the diet. You can start by encouraging aerobic activities such as jogging, climbing, and swimming. In terms of diet, the child should consume more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, etc., and avoid fried foods and dried fruits. These are high in empty calories and fat. It is also important to prevent the child from overeating frequently and to encourage more physical activity. Parents should be reminded that if the child's condition worsens during treatment, they must take the child to the hospital to diagnose the issue and receive targeted treatment.
