Patient's question:
My daughter, who is 7 years old, has been gaining a lot of weight recently. She also eats a lot and doesn't like to exercise. I would like to ask: How can I treat child obesity and a lack of exercise?Doctor's answer:
To help a child change the symptoms of obesity, it's important to arrange for them. You can start by teaching the child to swim, as the resistance of water is much greater than the resistance of air during land-based exercises, leading to faster fat consumption. The child should be given more foods like apples, kiwis, and carrots. It's necessary to prohibit the child from eating high-calorie, high-fat foods such as cakes, nuts, and cookies. Strictly control the child's diet and avoid overeating. Regular exercise is beneficial for changing a child's obesity. It is also important to remind parents that if the child's condition worsens during treatment, they must take the child to the hospital to diagnose the problem and receive targeted treatment.
