Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. In the past few weeks, I've noticed that my child's weight is much higher than other children's, and recently, he's become hungrier and prefers to lie down after meals. I'm wondering: How can I effectively treat child obesity and lack of exercise?Doctor's answer:
When a child's body becomes obese, parents should create a set of exercise plans and healthy diets for them. Parents can encourage their children to engage in activities that are beneficial for reducing obesity, such as jogging or swimming. Additionally, foods like carrots and spinach are helpful in addressing obesity. Foods high in calories, such as seeds and hamburgers, should be avoided. Strictly control the child's diet to prevent overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for addressing the child's obesity. During the treatment of obesity in children, if the above methods do not alleviate the child's obesity symptoms, it is important to visit a hospital promptly to determine the cause and avoid the condition worsening.
