Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, in elementary school. Recently, it has been found that the child is getting fatter and fatter. Additionally, he can eat several bowls of food in one meal and doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should obesity and laziness in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
For children with obvious symptoms of obesity, parents should encourage them to engage in more exercise and avoid picky eating. Activities such as swimming and climbing slopes are very effective in alleviating obesity symptoms. During this period, children should be given vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and pea puree. They should not be given high-calorie snacks like macadamia nuts or cookies. In daily life, it is important not to let children snack in bed or lie down immediately after eating, as these bad habits can also lead to fat accumulation.When parents are treating childhood obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is important to take the child to a formal hospital for targeted treatment. Do not engage in.
