Patient's question:
Boy, just 8 years old. Recently, I noticed that the child seems to be getting fatter and eats more, and is also very lazy. I would like to ask: How should obesity and a lack of exercise in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with making them love exercise and avoiding picky eating. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming can be beneficial. Also, let the child eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. Avoid giving them fried chicken, cakes, and other high-fat foods. Moreover, don't let the child lie down motionless after finishing meals.During the treatment of obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate the condition, it is important to visit a hospital to identify the cause and prevent the condition from worsening.
