Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 7 years old this year, recently, I noticed that she seems to be getting fatter and eating seems to be particularly uncontrolled. She doesn't like to go out to play often. Could you please advise on how to treat child obesity and laziness?Doctor's answer:
If a child suffers from obesity, parents need to control their child's diet and increase their physical activity. Parents should supervise their child to engage in aerobic exercises such as jogging and swimming, and encourage them to eat more high-fiber foods, such as spinach and carrots. High-calorie, high-fat foods should be avoided, such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Additionally, parents should help their child break bad habits, such as being inactive after meals and picky eating. It is important to remind parents that if the child's condition worsens during treatment, they must take them to the hospital to diagnose the problem and provide targeted treatment.
