Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. In the past few weeks, I feel that my child has a lot of meat on his body. At the same time, his appetite is very big, and he doesn't like to exercise. Please ask: How should I diagnose and treat my child's obesity and laziness.Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents should start by focusing on their child's exercise and diet. They can first teach the child to swim, as the resistance of water during swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat burning. Additionally, the child should consume more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as apples and kiwis, while avoiding fried foods and dry fruits, as these are high in empty calories and fat. Parents should also prevent the child from overeating frequently and encourage them to engage in more physical activity. During the treatment of pediatric obesity, if the symptoms are severe, it is essential to take the child to a reputable hospital for targeted treatment, avoiding treatment.
