Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 6 years old, has recently become increasingly chubby. At the same time, she's been eating more recently and doesn't enjoy playing as much. I was wondering: How can I treat obesity and a lack of exercise in children?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can first involve setting a suitable exercise routine and modifying the diet for the child. Arrange activities such as swimming and jogging within the child's tolerance. During this period, encourage the child to eat more cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, and similar foods. Make sure not to let the child consume high-calorie foods like cakes, chips, or Coca-Cola. Also, avoid letting the child go to sleep right after eating or lounging on the sofa while snacking. If the child's condition is severe during obesity treatment, it's essential to take them to a reputable hospital for proper medical care.
