Patient's question:
My boy, who is 7 years old this year, I noticed that he seems to be getting fatter. Also, he seems to eat without restraint. He doesn't like to play outside often. What should I do to effectively treat my child's obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and not be picky eaters. Encourage the child to engage in activities suitable for their age, such as swimming and jogging, and eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, like apples and kiwis, as well as nuts. Foods high in calories, such as burgers, should not be given to the child. In daily life, avoid letting the child eat snacks in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation. During treatment, parents should monitor the child's condition closely. If the situation is severe, medical treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid blind treatment.
