Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 9 years old. Recently, I noticed that my child is getting fatter and eating more food than other children, while also being less active. I would like to ask: What are the best ways to treat childhood obesity and a lack of exercise?Doctor's answer:
Children have developed obesity. Parents should alleviate their symptoms through exercise and a healthy diet. Aerobic activities like swimming or jogging can be arranged for the child. He should be given more foods such as apples, kiwis, and carrots to eat. The child should not consume high-calorie foods like cakes or macadamia nuts. Additionally, unhealthy habits such as being inactive after meals or being picky about food should be helped to be corrected. Parents are advised that during the treatment period, if the child's condition worsens, they must take him to the hospital to determine the condition and then receive targeted treatment.
