Patient's question:
Boy, just 6 years old, this year, discovered, the child is getting fatter and fatter, at the same time, 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:
Changing a child's obesity starts with getting them to love exercise and not be picky eaters. For pediatric obesity, more aerobic exercises like climbing and swimming can be beneficial. Additionally, children should be encouraged to eat more high-fiber foods such as spinach and carrots. It is essential to strictly prohibit children from consuming high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Moreover, if a child enjoys lying down after eating, parents must help them correct this unhealthy behavior. During the treatment period, parents should monitor the child's condition closely. In case of severe symptoms, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor and not through treatment.
