Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. Recently, I noticed that my child has a lot of fat on his body and also has a very large appetite. Additionally, he is particularly lazy. Please ask: How should obesity and a lack of exercise in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should control their diet and increase their physical activity. Sports like swimming and climbing slopes have a very positive effect on obesity. During this period, children should be encouraged to eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and sweet pea paste. They should not be given high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies, nor should they be allowed to overeat frequently. Instead, they should be encouraged to exercise more. During the treatment of obesity, parents should provide reasonable treatment based on the child's condition. If the condition is severe, it is essential to go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
